As of ATI Catalyst 9.4 (based on the 8.60 driver) – to be released April 2009, AMD will move a number of older ATI Radeon™ graphics accelerators products to a legacy driver support structure. This change will impact Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Linux distributions. AMD is moving to a legacy software support structure to better focus development resources on future products and ensure driver stability for these mature graphics products.

Heard about that. They'll update it less often it means. Every now and then.
 
Hardly matters, the x1 and the 9 series are comparitively ancient now anyways.

You will still be able to use the older driver if needed. Not to mention they have less designs to try and trouble shoot issues with the driver for.
 
actually its about time. there is little point in updating pre DX9 card now days. I don't think my 6800 has a new driver in years
 
Nvidia did this several years ago for Linux. They just forked it into nvidia-legacy and nvidia-current (or some crap like that). Not a big deal, I'm sure there aren't many x1 card owners eagerly upgrading their drivers every month ;)
 
uh, just so everyone knows before clicking that thumbnail, it doesn't make it any more readable. Also some of the links/thumbs on that page are NSFW.
