Mine too (X1600) :( I hope on 8.5!

Are you sure? It seems not:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/xorg-driver-fglrx

What are the expected features of fglrx 8.4? Do you think the delay it's been taking could it means major bugfixes?

Yes sorry, I was using the deb package on Ubuntu Gutsy repository (version 0.0.1+git20070918-1ubuntu1).
I'll wait an updated packaged!

I'm on an Acer TM8204 laptop with ATI Mobility RADEON X1600. When I try to run X with radeonhd, it fails and the logs say:


# grep -i radeon /var/log/Xorg.0.log

An year of waiting for what? AIGLX with this driver is 50% slower than XGL.

My system:
Acer TM8204, Centrino DUO T2500
2GB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon X1600

I'm getting back to 8.37.6 + XGL and...

I opened

hoping on a fast backport to Gutsy!

Will tomorrow be The Day?

Gutsy sets up XGL sessions *only* if you manually installed xserver-xgl package. Uninstalling it makes automatic XGL sessions disappear.

In feisty (released on April, 19) there's fglrx 8.37.6 (released on May, 31). So I guess Ubuntu will probably include 8.42 in backports asap, especially if AIGLX support will be supported...

Did you mean "they" for "the Ubuntu team will not update the driver to 8.42" or "AMD will not release the driver before october 18"?

Why AMD/ATI never announces release dates for its drivers?
