fglrx upgrade to 8.42.3

2007-11-01 Thread Davide Mancusi
Hi all, I wonder if anyone has recently upgraded the fglrx ATI driver from version 8.40.4 to 8.42.3, like I have done. OpenGL stopped working after the upgrade and I am not able to figure out why. The first time I run an OpenGL application, it just sits there forever waiting for something.
