I have installed 8.42.3 by downloading it from AMD's site. I am using an ATI Xpress 200 on my Compax laptop. Everything seemed to work fine, except the 2D rendering is laggy. AIGLX did in fact work and OpenGL 3D DRI seemed to be improved. My fps for fglrx_gears and glxgears improved greatly (I

fglrx upgrade to 8.42.3
