Embedded AMD Catalyst 13.3 Linux Driver Released

AMD has released a new Catalyst Embedded driver for Linux systems prior to calling it a week.

On AMD's web-site they have published the Catalyst 13.3 Proprietary Linux Graphics driver. This driver is offered from the embedded area of their web-site, but it works with desktop Radeon/FirePro graphics cards too. However, the "embedded" drivers tend to go through less QA and testing than the normal Catalyst driver releases.

No change-log for Catalyst 13.3 Embedded has yet to be published, but chances are it just consists of bug-fixes and other minor work without anything too exciting and still too early for any X.Org Server 1.14 support.
