AMD 8.42 Linux Driver Brings Fixes, Aiglx

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 23rd Oct 2007 20:39 UTC, submitted by pixelnate

~~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!"

Given the good support for wireless and graphics, it's unfair to say Intel is windows/mac only.

In fact, I'd say Intel hardware is amongst the best supported under linux.
