How does Catalyst 12.6 work on Linux?

[AngelusWebDesign]

I'm using 2.4 right now -- it works well on all my rigs.

However, I'd like to install something newer on my workstation/rig, because otherwise I can't use modern Linux desktops like Cinnamon and MATE.

Is there going to be a major problem if I install 2.6 instead of 2.4?

Just wondering if anyone else has experience with the 2.6 drivers on a mining rig running Linux Mint 12.

There's just a single 5850 on this machine anyhow, so I suppose even a 10% drop in hashrate isn't a big deal...

Whoa, I didn't know you were still around
