AMD Catalyst 9.12 For Linux Released
,----[ Quote ]
| AMD has today delivered their last proprietary
| Linux driver update for the year, Catalyst
| 9.12. However, if you were hoping Catalyst
| 9.12 would deliver on some of your holiday
| wishes, guess again. There still is no pure,
| usable XvBA support besides using the VA-API
| to XvBA wrapper and the Catalyst 9.12 driver
| just doesn't bring much. There is though one
| small addition and that is a few options have
| been added to the AMD Catalyst Control Center
| Linux Edition.

| FreeDesktop.org Hardware Abstraction Layer
| project is nice in that is multi-platform, but
| the HAL project has largely been abandoned and
| is being replaced by UDisks and similar
| projects.

Radeon HDMI Audio Set For Linux 2.6.33 Kernel
,----[ Quote ]
| We still may see power management patches
| for the ATI kernel driver arrive in time
| for 2.6.33, but being called for a pull
| into the mainline kernel this morning is
| the long-awaited HDMI audio support for
| the ATI kernel mode-setting driver. HDMI
| audio support for ATI Radeon graphics
| cards used to be the unique advantage for
| the RadeonHD driver, but it's been ported
| to the DRM driver and will be supported
| under Linux 2.6.33.
