Just a short one for once to say, that I couldn't agree more with this and this: the AMD support on Linux really isn't ideal compared to Windows. It's a shame when the software can't keep up with the hardware. Zero copy buffers really should be in Linux! Please! While their Linux support lags behind Windows I will not be buying an APU. At least they do still support Linux unlike some other high profile vendors.
EDIT 31/6/12: Looks like possibly more dark clouds ahead for AMD Linux. Looks like they're only going to be rolling out updates based on game necessity - potentially bad news if your OS doesn't have any games!
