    AMD Catalyst 12.8 released

    The new driver 12.8 for AMD Radeon HD is out there. It was very funny accident that the link was broken since yesteday Today they fixed it.

    You can download the driver of the official website
    For any help with installing check this

    or you can just sudo apt-apt upgrade (in case you are using Xorg-Edgers PPA).

    Please if you have Radeon and GNOME 3 let me know if you have any flickering/tearing problems, see any artifacts etc.

    I'm still having troubles using Gnome and Unity (except for the without effect versions) also with this release.
    May I ask you to take a look at the info tab of the Catalyst to confirm that under the voice driver package version the code is 8.96.7? I have updated but the *.run is named 8.98.2.

    Currently I am testing my new GTX, so had no time to bench with my Radeon. I can't help with GNOME 3 since I have no experience of that matter. Perhaps guyes over World of Gnome could help you. If Catalyst version is not updated, use the --force parameter.

    PHP Code:
    sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -*.deb
