Yes, I noticed that in the Catalyst 12.11 beta release notes too. Even they don't mention the FirePro V5700, so I think we can consider it dropped - what do you say Christopher? Regarding their mention of the FireStream 9250, it would be odd to reintroduce support for a card that was not supported in previous versions and given Max's descriptions of the errors and inconsistencies in other parts of the AMD website I strongly suspect the FireStream 9250 has been mentioned in error. Dave Lentz also thinks so. And it's only a beta driver, not a final version, which means that the release notes are also a beta version and not a final version. The conclusive way to determine this would be to test that driver on the FireStream 9250 on an earlier version of Ubuntu which does not have XServer 1.13.

@Sean, if you are still reading this, are you able to test the Catalyst 12.11 beta driver on Ubuntu 12.04? I'll also ask you this in bug 1075035.
