So, I went to download the latest FGLRX from AMD's download page, and the only version they are now offering is 8-12! Since the last two driver releases were mediocre at best, did AMD decide that we no longer need them?

Anyway, anyone know where can I find a copy of 9-2.

Thanks.

Nevermind, it is just a bug on their website.

If you select the HD2600 from their list it returns 8-12 as the latest. Everything else I tested returns 9-2 as the latest.

You don't want it. The 9-2 driver causes my machine to reboot when switching to graphics mode.
