ATI have posted the Radeon Catalyst 3.1 Driver Suite. Here's some of what's new/fixed in this latest release;

Running the Retest All option found in the SMARTGART tab no longer results in the AGP setting not returning to its original default value of 4X.
Dragging a DVD playback window back & forth between the extended desktop & primary desktop no longer results in display corruption in the DVD playback window.
Setting the display to 1024x768 32bpp followed by changing the AGP speed setting in the Smartgart Control Panel no longer results in the new speed setting not taking effect.

Known Issues
The following section provides a brief description of known issues associated with the latest display driver.

Running the game Combat Flight Simulator 3 with 4x Anti-Aliasing enable results in texture corruption being displayed. This issue occurs under Windows XP with the RADEON™ 8500. The current workaround is not to use Anti-Aliasing
Enabling extended desktop mode and setting the display resolution to 1024x768 32bpp results in the game Aquanox and Star Trek Armada 2 failing to respond. This issue occurs under Windows XP with the RADEON™ 9000 installed. The current workaround is to either disable extended desktop mode, or trying a different resolution
3Dmark2003 GT4 runs a little slower than expected on certain chipsets where AGP writes are disabled. A future CATALYST™ will resolve this and provide a higher benchmark score
3DMark2003 has some minor corruption on the RADEON™ 9500 and RADEON™ 9700 series cards when running in Anti-Aliasing modes. This however does not impact scores
Star Wars Jedi Knight 2 may hang when using High Quality setting in the video quality selector. This is a known issue for the RADEON™ 7500. Try lowering your video quality slider
Myth III may crash when enabling TRUFORM for the RADEON™ 9500 and RADEON™ 9700 series cards. The current workaround is to not use TRUFORM at the current time
