The ATI devs are saying that the current drivers will not support
xserver versions greater than 1.4.2.  F9 was server version 1.4.99 at
last glance.  So if you want max performance with the ati-amd drivers
the only option is F8.

Livna's devs are being held up by ATI's devs.

Keep a watch on ati.amd.com for the next driver release.  When they
release it, livna will have it.  The real question is wether the next
ati driver version will support 1.4.99+.
