If you have been an fglrx user for a long time you should know that's not the usual case (unless things have changed drastically in the last few months). This driver **usually** doesn't work with latest X and/or kernel. Punctually, it might, but usually you have to keep your system downgraded intentionally to keep these drivers working. I am not advertising any other brand here (and I have mentioned no brand name). Merely describing my experience with fglrx, for several years and until a few months ago. -- Jesús Guerrero Botella
