ATI binary releases are useless for 90% of the users unless you hack
youe environment.  And each months release is one stupidity over
another.  The last 4/5 months release didn't fix anything but added
more bugs.

Either the kernel is unsupported of the Xorg.  Currently 2.6.26 is
supported and Xorg isn't.  Hopefully when Xorg is released next month
it will be supported but not 2.6.27.

And so it goes...

I'm more interested in OSS drivers than the binary crap.
