ATI has released their new drivers for the Radeon line of graphics cards. You can read the change list here and download them from ATi's site.
Some of the new features include:
| Quote: |
SURROUNDVIEW™
This release introduces multi-adapter, multi-monitor support for the integrated ATI RADEON™ 9100 IGP graphics processor. Using SURROUNDVIEW™ with an ATI AGP graphics card can provide support for up to three independent monitors.
Enhanced rotation mode
The latest CATALYST™ driver provides Rotation support. The ATI Rotation tab found in the display properties offers four options. Standard Landscape (0°), Rotate 90° Left or Right, or Rotate 180°. When a rotation button is selected, the driver prompts the user to apply the setting or it will time out. A Hotkey can also be assigned to the different rotating options available. |
Not sure what you would use the last one for but it sounds cool. |

sweet, I've been waiting for these since the 4.2s seemed to give me lower 2k4 framerates on my 9600xt...like I said then I think they might be getting into an even-odd release cycle, alternating between DX 8 and 9 performance....anyhow, going to go test this latest crackpot theory of mine... |

Ahahahaha, thats badass! I can flip the whole screen upside down (rotate 180)! 
Kinda weird to use the mouse though, since all the directions are backwards.
Funny (though not apparently useful) stuff! |
