Yes,

        Our new ATI package maintainer is Bob Walmsley <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 
after
Sefan Dirsch moved to better things. Poor Bob, I hope he read the fine print.

        Another error that I found terrifying with the 9-3 driver on my setup

(EE) fglrx(0): Failed to allocate dynamic shared buffer!

        That doesn't look good... I wonder why others are not seeing it as well?
