RIV@NVX is on a distinguished road
System Specs

I like driver installer. However, there is a lot of stuff I would also like to see; from most important to least important:

* FreeBSD driver.
* Support for X.Org composite/damage extension.
* Better fglrxconfig. Perhaps it shouldn't generate entire xorg.conf, but only add the necessary stuff wherever needed. I never had luck with it and always had to edit xorg.conf by hand.
* Get rid of the internal agpgart if possible; submit patches to kernel in order to make the agpgart in kernel works as good as this one.
* Reduce installer size, if possible.
* Something similar or powerful as CCC or Windows CP. CCC is written in .net, which is C#, so it might be possible to port it.
* If that's not possible, perhaps an improved control panel with both GTK and QT frontends.
* OpenSolaris driver. Not nearly as important as FreeBSD, but would be nice.

Also, a question: How come that ATI always lists "we support 2.6.x kernel with this driver" in release notes? Is it really needed, since installer can now compile the driver for specific kernel automatically?
