 * ''fglrx'' binary driver - ati-driver-installer-8.34.8-*.run (Mar 9, 2007)
   * [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22/+bug/115188 fglrx unavailable in gutsy] - the fglrx is confused by xserver 1.3's version number. A patch exists, but we don't think we can legally distribute a patched fglrx. This needs to be resolved for Gutsy.
   * New driver [http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html available]: ati-driver-installer-8.37.6-*.run. Needs to be tested. Does it fix bug #115188?		  * ''fglrx'' binary driver
