System Specs

fglrx 8.18.8
ATI has update their driver (thanks to packages.gentoo.org for letting me know ).
I have no idea what's fixed, but release notes say the following:
Quote:
Dynamic Clock Gating

The Linux 8.18.8 software driver provides dynamic clock gating. This feature allows the supported graphics cards to deactivate components when they are not being used.

Enhanced Support for OpenGL Development

The Linux 8.18.8 software driver provides enhanced support for OpenGL development. The driver now installs the glATI.h header file allowing for OpenGL developers to access the advanced functionality found on ATI's hardware platform.

Dual Link Monitor Support

The Linux 8.18.8 software driver now provides support for dual link monitors for ATI graphics cards that have dual link DVI connectors.

Xinerama Support

The Linux 8.18.8 software driver now provides Xinerama extension support for big desktop configurations.

New X Server Configuration Utility

The Linux 8.18.8 software driver now provides a new X Server configuration utility known as aticonfig. This allows for configuration of ATI devices via a command line interface.
