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!"

Being active rage3d.com forum lurker 2-3 years ago, remember leaked rumors that OpenGL driver will be completely rewriten. TWO YEARS is a bit long, but they did it. Great news anyway.

Yeah, though those of us with firegl cards (such as the Xpress 200 chipsets found in *many* laptops) will have to wait another month for 8.43... ;)
