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
