I see more problems with fglrx though, as ATi has never been good with drivers and new technology (neither new X servers, neither new ATI cards are supported completely).
Just look at recent news at http://www.phoronix.com/ ;-) AMD will soon release fglrx 8.41 which is a bir rewrite and _greatly_ improves performance. Now I won't be surprised if 8.41/8.42 will support Xorg 7.3 (AIGLX is expected in 8.42). P.S.: LWN.net has reported that AMD representative at Kernel Summit said they will open specs and provide open source 2D driver for R500 and all newer chips. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
