New driver for the gamers:
AMD Catalyst 8.3 Linux Driver
,----[ Quote ]
| Last month with the Catalyst 8.02 Linux driver we mentioned just how low on
| the end-user changes the fglrx driver has been in recent months, and today
| the Catalyst 8.3 Linux driver has been released with the release train slowly
| chugging along. The only new feature in this month's proprietary Linux driver
| is X-Video support for the Xpress 1200 hardware, but there are a few bug
| fixes that may satisfy some Linux users.

| those bots too much AI (hehe). Anyway, I also tried multiplaying over the
| network and I got eaten alive.

| A round-up of fun Linux diversions.

| When people talk about computer gaming these days, they
| invariably mean commercial games running on a Windows platform. Few
| people realize that Linux can be more than just a very good Web or
| file server. Even fewer people are aware of the many open-source or
