ATI released drivers updated for 2.6.20 kernels.  

I downloaded and installed.  From my vantage point this version appears really 
flaky.   CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE shutdown the computer, vice restarting X.  When I 
restarted, the driver appeared to be working fine...good fglrxinfo output, 
but when I restarted the second time and afterwards, fglrx would not come up 
successfully, X stalled with a black screen.  It absolutely does not like 
dual monitor big screen mode.

I recompiled the driver, but have been unable to get it to work since when I 
attempted the first install.  I would like to know if anyone has had any 
successes with the new driver yet.
