Has anyone seen any releases of the ATi proprietary Catalyst 12.1 drivers for Linux yet?

From reading around, the ATi Linux release schedule started to mirror the monthly releases that Window's ATi drivers had but, it's the 30th of Jan and Google or the AMD driver site is not returning anything! I did find something but they looked like OpenCL developer drivers, rather than display drivers. :confused:

Gnome 3 on my Mint 12 install doesn't work well with the current drivers and from reading around, 12.1 are planned to fix the issues.

I know I can stop using Gnome 3 but I'm liking it :)

Tried using the driver search page by selecting that graphics adapter and operating system but that takes me to here, which are 11.11 drivers.

That page is a bit weird. Says 11.11 in the first box, then 12.1 under 'Revision Number' with a release date of Jan 25th, and the download link points to the file I linked to.
 
Yep, d/l link works here.

***edit***

Just to confirm, I've downloaded the .run file again from that page and it came down okay.

Thanks! Looks like it was Chrome not liking the link. Another browser managed to download it fine :)

Drivers seem to be working too! No more graphical glitches.
