I run ATI.2 drivers from GATOS. AFAIK this should not cause problems,
should it?

OK. I will do and report.

For me it's OK. I'm just afraid I'm not the only tester in town:)

Thanks for warning. BTW, probably it would make sense to move them to
separate directory - so people would know where to look more-less
"stable":) drivers... Also, even after purging, the latest 0-0-3
snapshot would be nice to leave on FTP. Just in case... 1.5M is not very
large volume...
