I was pretty excited to see a new release of this driver since I am using an ATI card with linux that works less than perfect. Unfortunately, I am already disapointed with this driver and i have not even installed it yet. Unlike the new release of Nvidia's Updated Drivers that came with a list of new features and improvements, the new ATI Catalyst download page presents you with a nice list of known issues, which probably is only touching the tip of all issues currently unknown.
