AMD announced the release of new Linux drivers for its popular line of video cards today. The new drivers, “Linux Catalyst 7.10″, provide updates and features for desktop effects and gaming. Finally! Something we’ve been waiting for.

The new drivers provide support for AIGLX and ATI GPUs, enabling performance improvements for OpenGL games including the Quake and Doom lines. The improvements also offer support for enhanced graphic effects for supported distributions.

The drivers for Linux now have a new 3D user interface that allows users to adjust settings like anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering and VSync. Also provided is support for X.prg version 7.3.

You can download both the Linux x86 and Linux x86_64 drivers directly from AMD here: ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

The following video card model series are supported:

  • Radeon
  • All-in-Wonder
  • FireMV
  • FireGL
  • Mobility Radeon
  • Integrated/Motherboard

I tried the package on one of my PC’s that had an ATI (AMD) video card and the driver (Catalyst control center) works great!
