3D News, GL, DirectX Ati AMD has released a new version of its graphics drivers that fix some long overdue bugs. "Today it's now time where the fglrx driver reaches yet another milestone. Not only does today's release address many of the outstanding bugs for the earlier GPU generations while also introducing a few new features, but it also delivers AIGLX support! Yes, you read that right. You can finally run your ATI graphics card with the fglrx driver and run Compiz, Beryl, or Compiz Fusion without using XGL!"

I do not know how much of the upper management from the origional ATI purchase that AMD kept on staff, but generally most of the high ups are fired in favor of people who will embrass the new owner's management style when this type of buyout/merger happens.

That being said, this was not ATI making good on any promises. This was AMD Making good on their promises. I also might add that AMD has a stellar track record for making good on the promises they make.

Great news for AMD/ATI and the linux community as a whole.
