    About bloody time, but only drawback is they only work on X700 or X800 Mobility.

    Quote "Catalyst for Mobility

    Also beginning with the 5.6 release ATI will be providing drivers and the Catalyst Control Center for Mobility users which, in a nut shell, means some of you road-warrior types won't need to wait for your notebook OEM to come up with updated driver releases.

    The new Catalyst Mobility program is Opt-In, meaning that ATI won't force it, but ODM/OEM companies can join voluntarily if they wish. The advantage is that those manufacturers can then leverage ATI's own support for those parts without having to spend their own resources maintaining drivers. Unfortunately, larger OEMs like Dell and HP will likely still customize the drivers for use with their products, so most users with notebooks from those guys will still be waiting around. Initial Catalyst Mobility support will only be available for Windows XP users running an X700 or X800 Mobility part."

    So it looks like omega drivers for the rest of us with slower chipsets.
