The New ATI Catalyst 7.11

So the new drivers from ATI are here, now with version 7.11 (AKA 8.43.3).

Did the same kind of installation that I always do, i.e., from the repositories (More detail here), and its working fine.
Compiz is a little bit faster but sometimes it hangs and windows content are not refreshed, but games are running much faster. Tried Urban Terror and the frame rates ware always close to the limit, in my case 80fps, before was something for 50fps.

Have friend that have a nvidia and sometimes it also hangs , so maybe it is a problem of compiz or of AIGLX, the future will tell.

Also i can not play a movies with compiz neither play a 3d game.

So if I am happy, one can say yes I am, although compiz-fusion is not perfect, but wen it works it runs almost smoothly and little better than before, this means that progress it is being made, so there is hope for the future


Finally Sun has released an update for Java and now its possible to run ATI Control Center.
