Description Víctor Enríquez 2006-12-13 16:14:25 UTC

Ati has released version 8.32.5, testing version bump.

Looks like this solves some bugs and adds support for Radeon X1950 family and preliminary support for X.org 7.2. 

According to phoronix:

For those not using building distribution-specific packages using the ATI installer (--buildpkg), the mainstream firegl_public code will not be updated for the Linux 2.6.19 kernel until the 8.33 driver being released in January. The fix that's required is changing linux/config.h over to linux/autoconf.h, which many fglrx package maintainers have already adopted.

and... 

Note: on the day prior to the 8.32.5 display driver release it was discovered by AMD/Novell that post-X11R72 RC2 does not load the DRM module by default. As a result X.Org 7.2 RC3/final doesn't look like it will work with the 8.32.5 release, but a workaround may be available
