Yes, it is just a bug fix release. It does not work with X.org yet. They plan to announce a release in Decemeber which will have the X.org support. You can read more at http://www.rage3d.com (look for ATI Linux Chat transcript). Osho On Fri, 12 Nov 2004 17:06:55 -0500, Lawrence Bowie <thesource@ldb-jab.org> wrote:

Does the new ATI driver work with SuSE92/Xorg (DRI support, switching between console & X, Xvideo overlay etc)?
From the readme on ATI site, the "new features" of this drivers are only "support for all existing ATI PCIe cards". The "issues resolved" are:
- Doom 3: Random polygons no longer appear throughout the display while playing the game - 3D Applications no longer fail to respond on RHEL 3.0 with 1GB or more memory installed - The System no longer fails to respond when moving the mouse around on the screen on some systems
I wonder if the first fixes the problems I was having in almost all 3D apps with textures (e.g. Celestia). I won't know either, because for now my 9600 is in a AMD64 system :-/ that's still unsupported AFAIK, and that will get a 9.2 as soon as I can buy a box.
I did read on a web news site that ATI hired 2 X developers and was about to release a completely new driver. I hope it's true. Meanwhile, I've bought a nVidia :-P
