I am not using the proprietary drivers, but according to Phoronix the 13.11 beta has support for kernels up to version 3.11.

so i just installed the 13.11 beta driver and it seems to be working fine at the moment, the only problem i see is with chrome some titles on the tabs looks grey instead of black, thats kind of weird. maybe is already a reported bug i dont know. anyway, it looks fine, gonna tested for a while. by the way any suggestions on how to remove it?, i know there is a uninstall script in /usr/share/ati, but im not sure if it does all work or if i have to reinstall packages like mesa as some past releases of the driver. any ideas?

I'm using them with a HD7850, kernel 3.10.17 with no problem, is your video card supported by the closed source driver?

I have an Ati Radeon 7500M/7600M series, everything seems fine, except for some issues with chrome and the tabs that keep flickering.
