Canonical Publishes ATI Catalyst 8.11 Beta

[ Thanks to Michael Larabel for this link. ]

"With no public release of the Catalyst Linux driver supporting X Server 1.5, any user trying to load the driver will run into show-stopping problems due to the ABI breaking. Simply put, the Catalyst driver will not work with any distribution using this new version. In the meantime, users are forced to use the xf86-video-ati or xf86-video-radeonhd drivers or even the VESA driver if one of these two open-source ATI drivers fail."
