Ubuntu 8.04 Adopts RadeonHD 1.0

Written by Michael Larabel in Radeon on 4 December 2007 at 12:06 PM EST. 6 Comments

Back on Thursday, November 29 the RadeonHD 1.0 driver was released and not even a week later it can now be found inside the Ubuntu 8.04 "Universe" repository. Previously the Ubuntu repository had RadeonHD 0.0.4. As of this morning, xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd is at version 1.0. While if you're using the development branch of Ubuntu you're all set, for those using Ubuntu 7.10 are stuck to RadeonHD v0.0.1. If you'd like to share your RadeonHD experiences be sure to stop by the Open-Source ATI/AMD Forum.
