There's still some issues with catalyst: - the libdrm.so symlinking crap is weird, I got different reports about ati and/or xorg version of this one working - somehow the ATI driver looks in /usr/lib/dri instead of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri. Besides that, I'd like to have some wiki documentation about the input hotplugging so people know how to tune it or turn it off if they don't want it.
