| Status of the fglrx driver and Fedora 7
| Many people have noticed that there's no fglrx driver available
| from Livna for Fedora 7...
|
| Version 8.36.5 of the AMD driver is incompatible with the Xorg
| version shipped with Fedora 7, and fortunately 8.37.6 fixed this.
| However it has other bugs in the closed-source part which AMD does
| not permit to be modified and so it can't be fixed.
|
| AMD has no plans to release an updated driver - The next functional
| driver will be version 8.38.X, to be released sometime this June.
| If you are using a ATI/AMD card that isn't supported by the
| open-source drivers, please consider staying with Fedora Core 6
| until the end of the month when 8.38.X is available.

So much for proprietary drivers.
