New ATI drivers were posted today. I have not tried these yet, and since the 8.3 is working flawlessly, I'm not in any hurry, but those of you having problems with some ATI cards may want to check it out.
Great news,
The 8.3 drivers are fantastic. I'm still using the ones I built from the installer package. I just check and the build service now has the 8.3 drivers built, but it seemed like it took a very long time for them to show up. The 8.3 driver was released on 3/8 if I recall correctly, and I remember checking the build service for weeks without anything new. Maybe the 8.4 driver will show up here fairly quickly.
Why not get them direct from ATI? Their installer has always worked for me.
Already did. I have 2 boxes running 8.4 as we speak without any problems. As soon as Tyan gets my RMA'ed board back, I'll give them a try on x86-64. A few more holes to fill in, but I almost have an auto-installer built for the ATI drivers that will download the installer, build the rpm remove the old drivers, save your xorg.conf, prep the kernel sources for the module build and install the new drivers for you. To fully automate it, I just have to figure out a way to get the script to continue to run through the telinit 3. More as time permits... -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
