message: Isn't this a repeat of the information posted in that article? I don't see a such need for a hardware driver to be mentioned in a seperate page. --202.40.157.165 05:55, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I added crossfire as a feature managed by the catalyst, but I don't know if I described it very well.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Playwrite (talk • contribs) 11:18, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Requesting move over redirect because Catalyst is not just a driver, it is a software suite that includes a driver and a program used in conjunction with it (the Catalyst Control Center). IMO it would be best to discuss them in one place. As for the proposed title's validity, you can see on the home page that the phrase "ATI Catalyst" (without "driver" appended) is used in promotional images. This is also the WP:COMMONNAME, some 2.2m ghits vs 140k for the current title. Ham Pastrami (talk) 06:23, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

message: 4.1 is definitely not the initial version. The earliest one that I know of are 2.x. http://www.oldapps.com/old_version_ati.php has the earliest at 0.2.5, which is dated April 10, 2001. Anyone know of earlier versions?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.116.184.49 (talk) 11:47, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Initial Version

message: The section on fglrx seems to imply that Catalyst is incorporated into fglrx.  If that is correct, it should be explicitly stated.  A rather elementary question a Linux user faces is whether to go to an AMD site and download proprietary drivers or whether to expect these drivers to be already present in fglrx. ( My guess would be that this question would not have a simple answer.)  The relation between Catalyst and fglrx should be described, at least in general terms.

message: Hi, the initial release of amdgpu DRM-driver mentions ddx: xf86-video-amdgpu here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2015-April/081501.html. Yet the http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/ claims they use glamor. User:ScotXWt@lk 09:55, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  DDX and Glamor 

message: Inside article there are mentions such as "from Crimson" or "Catalyst version X", but tehnically is still the same software/utility (just different major version).
Shouldn't there be only 'version X' (without adrenalin, crimson, catalyst)? For simplicity?
I also did some research on name change (by looking over older drivers) and this is what i found so far:
Not sure if this is of any use at all (for history section).Basically a history of major version (edition) name changes or "era": Adrenalin (2017-today), Crimson (2015-2017), Catalyst (unknown-2015)
 Driver package and software name changes (on Windows)
