At Phoronix we have posted a new article. A link to this from your
site's news section would be greatly appreciated.

Title: AMD Catalyst vs. X.Org Radeon Driver 2D Performance ( -at -) Phoronix
Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=13388
Summary: "One of the common complaints about the ATI Catalyst Linux
driver is slow 2D performance, but is this really the case? Does AMD's
binary-only Linux driver have 2D performance issues that could actually
make it run slower than the open-source driver developed by the X.Org
community through specifications released by AMD? In this article we
have run a total of 28 benchmarks looking squarely at the 2D performance
between the Catalyst (fglrx) driver and the xf86-video-ati (Radeon)
drivers on Ubuntu Linux."
