• "aticonfig -xinerama=on" no longer results in different dimensions and DPI settings between Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04
• CAL SDK samples will no longer throw an error message while executing on the second ASIC
• Playback with UVD acceleration no longer causes Mplayer to terminate abruptly or display blank video
• Display corruption no longer observed after changing TV format from NTSC to PAL and restarting X server
• System now responds properly when multi-display mode is being configured
• Pressing the "Detect Displays" button in Catalyst Control Center will now detect newly hotplugged displays properly
• System no longer becomes unresponsive when playing VC-1 or H.264 content in dual stream with SD MPEG content
• Changes to gamma values are no longer applied to the wrong display when X is restarted
• With CrossFire enabled, pressing the "Detect Displays" button no longer causes the "3D" settings drop down menu to expand in the Catalyst Control Center Display Manager
• Desktop rotation changes will no longer cause segmentation fault in clone mode
• Systems with both CRT and LVDS displays connected will now respond properly when starting the X server

Known Issues

• With CrossFire enabled, system may become unresponsive when switching to DC (battery) mode with full-screen applications running
• Desktop resolution changes through Catalyst Control Center might not be applied after restarting X
• System may become unresponsive when toggling between virtual terminals in multihead configuration with applications running
• System may become unreponsive after executing specific combinations of XRandR reflections and rotations
• X server may fail to start GUI Desktop Manager after enabling secondary adapter using Catalyst Control Center
• [Ubuntu 9.04] Animated busy mouse cursor may disappear or flicker in clone mode
• Corruption may be visible after hotplugging a display and doing a Virtual Terminal switch
• [RHEL 5.3] The secondary display may become disabled after resuming from sleep/hibernation in big desktop mode
• Screen rotation may result in corrupt video playback
• [SUSE 11.1] Unplugging the secondary display and terminating the X server (Ctrl + Alt + Backspace) may cause the primary display to become blank and display corruption
• fgl_glxgears application may fail to function and cause the system to stop responding while performing OpenGL GLX Remote Rendering
• In dual-head mode, performing a XRandR command (rotation or screen resolution change) on screen 1 may cause both screens to display corruption
• Segmentation fault may occur or system may display error during boot up if X is stopped in Dual-Head mode
