    Post Which version fglrx are people still running?

    Here 8.38.6 :short answer.
    Long A.
    Well the other day was bold to upgrade to gusty Ubuntu, yet still I find myself running fglrx version 8.38.6 . Under XGL, compiz/beryl runs very stable. Just wondering what driver version is still suiting the purpose for people?
    Just passing some time until the mythical 8.42 since it will supposedly have AIGLX Support and I won't have to anymore disable it in xorg.conf by Option "AIGLX" "off"

    In XGL, 'glxgears' benchmark:
    55593 frames in 5.0 seconds = 11118.498 FPS

    Hardware Specs:
    Sapphire Radeon X1900XT Graphics Card
    AMD/ATI driver fglrx version: 8.38.6
    X Window System Version: 1.3.0 as displayed in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
    32 bit OS Ubuntu feisty upgraded to gusty
    total memory using 'free' 4051692.
    AMD x2 3800 CPU

    8.40.4, since Gentoo doesn't have an ebuild for 8.41.7, and when I tried to make one, it... failed.

    8.42: Err.... You'll need to wait to see the codename.

    The Phoronix codename has been going on for the past couple of releases following AMD 8.xx.x Display Driver Released -- XXXXXXXXXXX Edition.

    Well with Ubuntu 7.10 I'm running 8.38.6, no reason to try to upgrade or downgrade, I have issues with all of them. Hopefully if 8.42 is any good I'll be running that instead.

    there's an ebuild in some forum thread. but 8.41.7 doesn't work with amd64 and is quite difficult to make it work with igp boards as x200m or similar.

    the 8.40 should work a little better and 8.41 should work well with your board. the issue is just it's installation.
