Just like the title says, the 8.11 drivers are no longer considered beta quality. I'm kinda curious if anybody over here has tried them yet.
From the info on the announcement I got in my Google Reader:
Driver version: 8.552 NEW FEATURES:
(1) RHEL 4.7 support.
(2) Display scaling to HDTV timings/resolutions.
(3) Control Center option to display an ATI CrossFireX logo when ATI CrossFireX is enabled.
(4) Xorg 7.4 (Xserver 1.5) support
ISSUES RESOLVED:
(1) Automatic power state changes when unplugging or plugging AC power.
(2) Segmentation fault in amdcccle when launched as root under SuSE 11.
(3) Corruption when playing videos using XvMC with mplayer.
(4) X startup failure in dual-head mode with only one monitor connected.
KNOWN ISSUE:
(1) Installing the driver on Ubuntu systems using the community-supported Ubuntu packaging mechanism leads to a failure to load the kernel module resulting in 3D acceleration being disabled. Please install this driver release using the interactive installer instead
