Why are the fglrx drivers not up to date?

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 538 / 2 Years ago, sat, october 1, 2022, 10:47:50

I have a AMD Radeon HD 8750M dedicated graphics card and Ubuntu 14.04, so from Software Updater I installed fglrx-updates, how ever after doing a dmesg | grep fglrx I found out that the version is from Mar 12 2014. But on the official amd website the latest version is from 5/27/2014. Why is that version not on the ubuntu repos since it supports Ubuntu 14.04

In System Settings>Software and Updates: there is a setting has something to do with that since the 5/27/2014 drivers are a beta and not a stable release. However I would not recommend using an unstable release with a Graphics card. So by your settings, the drivers are up to date.
