New driver is up and it seems there is extended Eyefinity support in them, including linux support:
New Windows Features

Highlights of the ATI Catalyst™ 10.7 release for Microsoft Windows include:

ATI Eyefinity Technology – Enhancements for HydraVision™

* Maximizing a window across multiple displays will now take user defined bezel compensation into account
* Automatically adjusts window position when dragging and dropping windows to ensure title bar visibility
* Proper dialog box placement – dialogs do not cross displays, are not hidden behind bezels, and can be designated to be shown on the users “preferred” display

Enhanced Pull-down detection

* The Pull-down detection algorithm has been enhanced for higher visual quality on certain types of video content
* Supported on the ATI Radeon™ HD 5000 Series of GPUs

ATI CrossFireX™ technology – support for rotated displays

* This release of ATI Catalyst™ enables end users running supported ATI CrossFireX™ configurations to rotate their displays (single or ATI Eyefinity display configurations) and still enjoy the performance benefits of ATI CrossFireX™ technology

ATI Radeon™ GPU acceleration of VLC 1.1.1 Media Player

* Enables GPU acceleration of h.264 video content when using the VLC 1.1.1 Media Player – enabling a better user experience by consuming less system resources
* Supported on the ATI Radeon™ HD 5000 and ATI Radeon™ HD 4000 Series of GPU products
* Requires VLC version 1.1.1 and later

Highlights of the ATI Catalyst™ driver for Linux 10.7 release include:

Support for new Linux operating systems

* This release of ATI Catalyst™ driver for Linux introduces support for the following new operating systems:
o Ubuntu 10.04 production support

ATI Eyefinity support

* ATI Catalyst™ driver for Linux 10.7 provides support for ATI Eyefinity technology under all supported Linux distributions

Don't forget the new profiles as well, found here:

They are for single cards as well, though it says crossfire.

Here's rage3d's testing of the new features compared to last release:

I can confirm that 5x1 portrait eyefinity is still not working

I joined the forum just say this lol I've been waiting since may, i am really disappointed. I am starting to think they faked the 5x1 portrait at the computex with SOFTTH...

who's with me?

Eh, still no 5x1 Portrait. It's pointless to me.

Thanks Tamlin, will report back.
EDIT1: completely no sign of 5x1 Portrait.
EDIT 2: I found something interesting in the FaQ.
Is the 5 x 1 configuration supported?

5x1 configurations are currently not supported. AMD is working on support for 5 monitor configurations which we plan to enable through a future ATI Catalyst™ driver update.

This is what we have known, except that they keep showing new videos of games running in 5x1 Portrait.

But this is what I found most interesting because it's false:

Can individual monitors be configured in a combination of portrait and landscape?

...Systems using multiple ATI Radeon™ graphics cards can support a maximum of 8 displays (total across all cards in system) with a maximum 6 of those displays being used together in a display group...


Our very own Eyefinity + SoftTH Guru had a system with 9 and 10 monitors. I believe he's also trying to go 5x3 so that's 15. SLS technology aside, the limit is not 8 monitors at all.

Hmm... Eyefinity + quadfire still below par.. DIRT2 @ 5040x1200 DX11 Ultra average 25fps minimum 14fps. On 10.4a this was average 67fps and minimum 52fps..
This is a real joke:
and still enjoy the performance benefits of ATI CrossFireX™ technology

Amazing how much disc access there is during gameplay. This really brings down the framerate. When i play under 10.4a there is nearly no HD activity! For example when entering the camper after a race, this brings the game to a complete halt with the HD trashing away.. If i reinstall 10.4a this is non-existent.

Just connected my ACCEL adapter instead of the Apple.. Blanking not as much as it used to, but still there. Once every 30 seconds.

@Tamlin: Thanks for the link to rage3d; going to fiddle with RadeonPro.
