Just as I was thinking that ATI had abandoned its monthly driver update, Catalyst 9.1 drivers have appeared on the web.

Along with the bug fixes and performance updates is a new feature - OpenGL 3.0 support for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Linux.

This release of ATI Catalyst™ provides full OpenGL™ 3.0 extension support. The following is a list of OpenGL™ 3.0 extensions added in Catalyst 9.1: - ARB_framebuffer_object - ARB_half_float_vertex - ARB_texture_rg - EXT_texture_array - EXT_texture_integer - EXT_transform_feedback - NV_conditional_render - WGL/GLX_create_context (for new 3.0 contexts) - GLSL 1.3 - ARB_color_buffer_float - ARB_vertex_array_object - EXT_draw_buffers2
