If there are issues with the rpms, please report them (currently no known issues): http://bugzilla.atrpms.net/ There are quite some benefits using the rpms over hand installed drivers (just like for evey other software, too), most prominently you can cleanup/upgrade your system quite easily, don't destroy Mesa libs, and can have multiple drivers installed simultaneously, switching the drivers "on the fly" w/o rebooting (OK, you need to exit X first ;). -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
