AMD 8.41 Display Driver Preview

,----[ Quote ]
Whether you are using a Radeon X300 purchased a few years
ago or the Radeon X1950PRO, the 8.41 driver is noticeably
faster. How much faster? In many cases it is about 50%
faster while in some configurations it may go as high as 90%
or more. In fact, in some benchmarks the Mobility Radeon
X300 was over 10x faster!

Translation - Several years and years later, linux drivers for
ATI video cards are no longer so pathetically bad as to be
borderline unusable.

In fact, in some benchmarks the Mobility Radeon X300 was
over 10x faster!

Translation - Until recently linux hardware support for this
major video card was so bad that it barely ran at 1/10th the
speed it should have.

7.6 Trespasser Disinformation Tactics

38. Never leave a Linux positive thread unchallenged. If there is a thread developing that is positive for Linux, hijack that thread at all cost. Even if it means sacrificing your current identity. One method to do this is to ramble on about other topics, with or without the use embedded insults. Even if you fail to hijack the thread, you may be able to derail it enough to cancel the positive-for Linux-impact that it could have had.
