If you have been an fglrx user for a long time you should know that's |
| 14 |
not the usual case (unless things have changed drastically in the last |
| 15 |

This driver **usually** doesn't work with latest X and/or kernel. |

Punctually, it might, but usually you have to keep your system |

downgraded intentionally to keep these drivers working. |

I am not advertising any other brand here (and I have mentioned no |
| 22 |
brand name). Merely describing my experience with fglrx, for several |
| 23 |
years and until a few months ago. |
