Sorry to say but I gave up on ATI long ago; AMD had the chance of actually fixing things up; if AMD management isn't willing fire those who refuse to tow the party line, it speaks volumes for the weak management in place.

I'm still willing to give them a little more time. I never expected AMD to suddenly change everything in ATI overnight, especially given their current problems competing with Intel. Supposedly they're going to have a redesigned driver out sometime before the end of the year, and I have hope that it will be as good as the NVIDIA drivers. They're not really that great on Linux either, but I've given up on either manufacturer doing better than that.

If the situation is still the same in January, then I'll be moving to your position and start ignoring all ATI products. Probably still consider their CPU's, though.
