ati catalyst 10.6 released

[albatorsk]

I must say that this is the first version of fglrx that's pleasantly surprised me. Good work, ATI/AMD.

Also, it's nice that CCC finally displays the Catalyst version. Unfortunately, it says 10.5 :P

where can i check if direct2d is activated?

Run the following in a terminal:

grep "ATI 2D" /var/log/Xorg.0.log

It should say

(==) fglrx(0): ATI 2D Acceleration Architecture enabled

Run the following in a terminal:

grep "ATI 2D" /var/log/Xorg.0.log

It should say

(==) fglrx(0): ATI 2D Acceleration Architecture enabled

its not saying anything at all.

this is a fresh install and i downloaded the 10.6 driver and did a buildpkg and installed that package.
