Catalyst driver's performance is total mess. Open source one is better

Junayeed,

Although I have appreciation for the people working on catalyst, it
surely does not work on my system as well.  I did a yum search on imo
but did not get much.  Can you give me a little more information as to
what you mean by IMO.  

Thanks,

Greg
