That is my desktop running on my Radeon 3870, with Compiz on and dualhead enabled. Awesome.

From Phoronix: “The last release of the xf86-video-radeonhd driver was version 1.2.1 and that happened back in April. Since then we have seen a plethora of new work go into this open-source ATI driver for the Radeon R500 series and later. We’ve seen the driver add support for AMD’s 780G Chipset and most notably it has adopted AtomBIOS to be used on the Radeon HD 4800 series and newer. There have also been numerous other improvements to this driver that currently competes with the xf86-video-ati driver. With much of this work now being settled, the Novell development team has released the RadeonHD 1.2.2 driver. In addition, they pushed out the RadeonHD 1.2.3 driver just moments later, which introduces their Command Submission infrastructure.”

FGLRX driver rolls along
Sep 18
They finally got my favorite issue fixed:
“When it comes to WINE, AMD has fixed the screen corruption issue that has plagued users for a number of months now. However, AMD is continuing to address problems with WINE as well as delivering performance optimizations, which should be in the pipeline shortly.”
Great job AMD, the release schedule for fglrx is working out for me atleast. Phoronix has the full details.
