Maybe he meant "It is faster available" -- livna often needs two days
(or sometimes even more) until new drivers are published in the repo.
This could be improved if there would be more people helping maintain
and testing the drivers. Maintaining them is a lot of work and the job
is quite frustrating. That's why I'll soon step down as maintainer of
the ati-fglrx and nvidia drivers in livna. 

BTW, updates ATI drivers are in the livna-testing, but they have a
problem that needs to be fixed before they get into the ususal repo. See
http://bugzilla.livna.org/show_bug.cgi?id=922
Help appreciated

BTW2: Update kernel modules for FC5 building currently -- they should be
available soon.
