    Awesome, thanks for the news. I just installed 11.10 preview 3 two day ago, I thought it was about time for a WHQL version.

    These are totally crashing my system. Several blue screens and It says that the driver is missing when I reboot.

    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling them several times. :(

    Have had this problem a while back, I used yamicsoft windows 7 manager, the smart uninstaller utility. Re-installed and all was well.

    eouch a bit steep if all you want to do is uninstall properly.
    Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper
    try that one, it's free and it works.
    just run it in safe mode and select amd - display, click analyse then clean.

    the online installer from the site (1mb or so) will not detect the card, however the link provided by rev is the full driver + CCC and installs just fine. no editing or anything required, however i always select a custom install during installation and check that the driver is actually being installed.

    if not, you can usually edit the installmanager.cfg file and change WorkaroundInstall=true
