Thanks for the warning. I need it for a laptop too. It's an Acer with a Mobility Radeon X700. Any ideas anyone?

Right now -- Not for 11.1, for 10.3-11.0 you can still use the 8.9 driver which has the best performance of all the latest releases. The 8-10 through 9-1 drivers all have frame rate issues with glxgears and general system slowness on my Toshiba laptop. In my history, I have never encountered an ATI driver as completely broken as the 9.2 driver (OK, I lied, the October 2007 release was pretty broken with SONAME problems requiring library rearrangement). Right now, the situation with ATI drivers just pretty much sucks. At least with 11.0 and earlier you have the option of using the older ATI drivers that work great. With 11.1, you are just dead in the water for the time being. All we (all) can do is pray that ATI is LISTENING!! and will do something to fix the Linux driver and put out a working 9-3 release. Keep your fingers crossed, do a rain-dance, or File a LinuxDriver Feedback ticket with ATI. I've ticketed every driver since 8-10, so far we see what that has gotten. However, if EVERY ATI user would let ATI know how borked the current driver is, maybe -- just maybe -- we would get a resolution of the problem sooner as opposed to later. -- David C.
