updated to 15.5-1 - AKA "nothing interesting":
- it doesn't support xserver 1.17
- looks older than ubuntu vivid driver which we are using ie in catalyst-test@AUR
- i've added initial support for 4.1 kernel (using kolasa's patch, tested on 4.1rc5)
- rel notes: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDCatalyst15-5LINReleaseNotes.aspx

updated to 14.9-1:
- official, stable release
http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDCatalyst14-9LINReleaseNotes.aspx

- it doesn't support xserver 1.16

- I added my fresh patch for kernel 3.17 rc6.
Notes about the patch:
1. it probably wont work on 3.17 kernels older than rc6 because I don't know how to tell preprocessor about rc version :P
2. im unable to test resume/suspend
3. im not the developer, just pressing random keys :P so the patch could be less/more noobish :-)

14.4-21: added dirty GPL-licensing solution - fglrx_gpl_symbol.patch - workaround for compilation error for i686 on 3.16.1 kernel

Thank You.
Yes, I also think it's great, many people worked on this before it get current shape.
I did promoted it many times, but it never get as much people's attention as the -hook. Well...I never presented it on a TV - that could be the reason of why my promotion was unsuccessful ;)

This packages is currently the most sensible way to manually install and upgrade Catalyst drivers, and the wiki seems to agree with me (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMD_Catalyst#Catalyst-generator). This package should be promoted more.

You've done a great job with this. Thank you.

There's a bug in linux 3.14.2:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do=details&action=details.addvote&task_id=40171

Temporary workaround is to downgrade linux and linux-headers to 3.14.1 or use gcc from [testing]. The first solution should be imho safer. You can find 3.14.1 at arm:

x86_64:
