Probably; we're still using something a few revs old; due to
compatibility problems with various software, nothing newer was generally
functional. Want to give /afs/dev/user/amb/fglrx/fglrx_6_8_0-8.522-1.i386.rpm
a shot? It's newer than anything previously tested and, as always,
promises fixes for some bugs while introducing others, but should at
least be aware of a lot of newer hardware in useful ways.
