Re: ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Version 8.28.8

Is anyone updating the current packages?
The post is rather old and the drivers still haven't been updated...
Just wanted to know if there's a problem with this version, because the previous version causing problems with my card. So, does this version work at all, or is it still ATI like and buggy as hell.... 

Thanks!

No! Don't submit a bug for an out-of-date package.  Find the package on the website (http://www.archlinux.org/packages/) and click the "flag out-of-date" button. The dev will then be emailed about this.

Yes, and that's why I was asking if somebody takes care of it. The packages have been flagged out-of-date for quite al long time.
And during the fact that a lot of people have ATI cards and a lot of people praying for working fglrx drivers, I was wondering why it takes that long to release the new version....
