The driver still doesn’t support X.org 7.0 – which is the current version shipping with, e.g. Debian Sid.
ATI has always been a little behind, but how different is this, really?

According to some posts on the Open Scene Graph forums, ATI has fixed a number of major OpenGL bugs in this release. Excellent news.

Honestly, I haven’t even been able to get Xorg 7 running stably on any of my machines, ATI or NVidia card considered. I think Xorg 7 has got some issues.

on Debian/Sid all you have to do is use the installer instead of prepackaged .debs. Even Suspend (S3 and swsusp2) works fine now on my machine. Powerplay support is great!
Sure, there are still lots of things to complain about, e.g. that powerplay settings are not remembered, but they’re on the right track.
