After Stefan Dirsch handed over the reins of driver maintainer to Bob Walmsley. I guess he is now the guy that this should be coordinated through. I am glad to try and help, and to run test cases, etc. since I drew the black bean in laptop selection so let me know if/when there are new cases to test. I follow the ATI driver releases and test each one so I have a good handle on where things stand today. The problem is that Novell needs to use its resources to get a working partner in ATI to address some of these issues. Luugi Marsan was in the past the ATI contact, but at present, I haven't a clue who the ATI contact is or even if there is one. Without a good contact, we are dead-in-the-water getting any of these issues addressed and we are guaranteed a significant number of stranded users if these issues are not addressed.
David, I can understand your frustration in this matter, as for my part, I currently have the ability to test the latest software on a Dell Studio 17 with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 in 64 & 32 bit mode. If there is a need for more varied (hardware) testing I am willing to invest in a separate Computer with assorted Video cards. I am always up for suggestions to make the process better and beneficial for everyone.
