BTW, is it getting stable? Seems Ingo touches a lot of different parts of the kernel for this and puts out new patches as fast as a VIA Epia with 600 MHz needs to compile a fedora kernel (okay, thats unfair, the via epia is a bit faster -- but only a bit)... > So, I just sent rpm off to -e that kernel as I haven't > ran it more than a few hours total since upgrading to FC2. > > Mmm, then it switches to reporting 2.6.8-1.521, which > cannot be removed according to a long list of dependencies, > many of which are also ancent kernel packages.

You need to recompile the kernel-module for your kernel. Get the ati- fglrx src.rpm from livna.org, install it and rebuild the kernel-module with something like rpmbuild --ba SPECS/ati-fglrx.spec --without driverp --target i686 \ --with ksrc /location/of/your/kernel/build/tree That *should* to the trick. -- Thorsten Leemhuis <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
