AMD has served up the latest monthly revision of its Catalyst drivers - now sitting pretty at 11.4 - for both Windows and Linux platforms.

We're told that Catalyst 11.4 features enhancements to the AMD VISION Engine Control and Catalyst Control Centers - including task-based display management controls, and an Eyefinity setup group to make configuration even easier.

For Linux, Catalyst 11.4 is said to add support for the following operating systems:

  • Ubuntu 11.04 support (early look)
  • SLED/SLES 10 SP4 support (early look)
  • RHEL 5.6 support (production)
