A month after AMD released a Radeon HD 2000 'R600' Linux driver based on their new Linux driver codebase, they have now released another driver that provides AIGLX support used for Compiz and Compiz Fusion. In addition to this long-awaited AIGLX support, this driver also addresses issues with previous Radeon product families, performance improvements, AGP fixes, and added features to their graphical control panel. Phoronix has a review of the 8.42 Linux driver with all of the details about this much-anticipated release.

Tons of notebook owners can go 3d desktop now

However, i prefer to do that once a newer os release integrates the above driver.

You don't need 8.42 to get a 3d desktop. You could have always got one.
