The driver SHOULD fix some bugs, have better graphics acceleration and support the OS a little better.
[B]The following section provides a brief description of resolved issues with the latest version of the ATI Catalyst™ Linux software suite.
These include:[/B]
Every release of Ubuntu features updated software applications, a newer kernel with improved hardware support. It's really too far away to KNOW all the changes, but browse through the posts in this forum and you can pick up a lot of speculation on what's to be included.
Don't get too put off by some of the responses. Just let it go. Take a deep breath and hopefully someone will jump in and politely present the information you are requesting.
Thanks for the info and i just want to know when can i except the next iso that as i been told should be released in june i hope this iso would have already include a working plymouth and a better grub 2 and etc.
According to this;
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickReleaseSchedule
It is due out on 7-22.
I would not hold your breath about plymouth working. If it does not work on your hardware by now it probably will get worse.
There is nothing that I can see that is a real problem in grub now.
My problem with grub is that it doesn't always update the mbr on my main HD so after restart i have no grub menu and i am forced to enter live cd again and install grub on sda and sdb manually and i really don't understand why it does this my setting is not uniq at all.
And as i see now it's on the July 29th not July 22nd so there is a long time till then so maybe i would wait till Maverick Release before i try ubuntu again i hope this version at least would not dissapoint me in the end.
WHQL Linux
Choose one.

Well if you knew what WHQL means.
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHQL_Testing*
Windows Hardware Quality Labs testing or WHQL Testing is Microsoft's testing process which involves running a series of tests on third-party (i.e. non-Microsoft) hardware or software, and then submitting the log files from these tests to Microsoft for review. The procedure may also include Microsoft running their own tests on a wide range of equipment, like different hardware and different Microsoft Windows editions.
Products that pass the WHQL tests get to use a "Certified for Windows" logotype, which certifies that the hardware or software has had some share of testing by Microsoft to ensure compatibility. The actual logo used depends on the version of Windows.
No doubt the sarcasm is due to this.
This is just the name of the driver i thought you'd be smart enaf to ignore it and understand the relevent of it to the fgrlx driver.
No offense to aviramof but andrewthomas was right, everything you needed to know was on the link you posted yourself about the ATi driver. Release notes aren't made for fun buddy.
I just need to know just two things is there already an fglrx driver for [[COLOR=#000000]Maverick Meerkat [/COLOR]]("http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=385") because if it uses the same 1.75 as lucid i don't see a reason why it would't have it.
and does the compiz pacages from the lucid ppa would work?

Thanks in advance.
