ATI's Linux developers have been at the top of their game for some time now, as accompanying the Windows CATALYST display drivers has been the Linux fglrx counterpart. Today, yet again, ATI Technologies strikes its users with their monthly ritual of pushing out new display drivers -- largely to benefit the growing needs of gamers with a multitude of titles, along with a host of fixes and other advancements. The drivers being released today are entitled v6.2 (February 2006) on the Microsoft side of things, while the Linux users are presented with version 8.22.5. Although no CrossFire support has yet been added, nor X1000 series support, penguin users will be pleased to see that v8.22.5 has finally been patched for use with the Linux 2.6.15 kernel (the latest stable kernel tree at the time of publishing is 2.6.16-rc2-git6).
