I was under the impression that the proprietary drivers were never updated  
by ATI ever since a somewhat workable free driver became available. Which  
put a lot of people in a bad spot because the free driver is not quite  
up-to-speed yet, and many users found that they're 3D rendering was really  
bad and there was no easy fix (I think that the proprietary drivers CAN be  
used with 9.04, but not without a lot of work). As far as I know, Hardy was  
the last system which had a truly working proprietary ATI driver.
