I thought someone on the list might want to know that ATI released

Anything's gotta be better than what I've got right now...anybody know
the ETA of seeing this in Debianized form?
Well, they do have an rpm of the driver. I just convert it into a .deb 
with alien and then I installed it (incidentally, ATI recommended alien 
for debian users in their "Release Notes" readme.

You also need a kernel module. And the drivers are proprietary right 
(?). Is it possible to make a debian package that goes to ATI's website 
and download stuff??

I've got it working here with not much hoo-haa. I did the same thing as 
when I first got the older driver in april...
