ATI 8.34.8 released
Continued success. This is the 3rd driver release in a row from amd/ati that works with the Radeon Mobilty Xpress 200M card in my laptop. It makes me happy.

OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON XPRESS Series
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6334 (8.34.8)
It works with Beryl (albeit using XGL) and I am experiencing noticable frame rate increases too (yes I know glxgears isn't a benchmarking tool).
glxgears
11199 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2239.679 FPS
17053 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3410.522 FPS
17057 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3411.321 FPS
15395 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3078.930 FPS
11926 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2385.025 FPS
I installed it using this file, made executable and run as root.
