AMD's (ATI) driver version 8.33.6

This release of Catalyst® Linux introduces the following new features:

Being released on November 29, 2006 was the Linux 2.6.19 kernel. However, neither the November 8.31.5 or December 8.32.5 display drivers had appended official support for this kernel. Distribution package maintainers have independently included patches for the 2.6.19 kernel, but finally with the 8.33.6 display drivers had AMD developers patched the mainstream code. The fglrx 8.33.6 display driver should now work out-of-the-box with the Linux 2.6.19 kernel. The major change required for Linux 2.6.19 kernel support was linux/config.h being changed to linux/autoconf.h.
