SuSE ftp has XFree86 drivers for 9.2, but I thought that 9.2 has
Xorg and I should use xorg drivers. I am lost here.
9.2 DOES use x.org
Thanks mjt. So I assume that SuSE has X.org driver on their site. The |
fact is that README mentions XFree driver, but it might be a mistake, I
guess. |

the fansite for all things ATI. There is at least one thread in the
Linux driver forums about patching 2.6.10 kernels. Although my
experience with ATI and Linux so far is that a visit from Torquemada
would be less painful.

Yes, thanks, I have been already pointed there. I did not manage to
patch my kernel. It should be very easy but it does not work for me (I
definitely do something wrong). Anyway, I am thinking about rolling back
to 2.6.8 until they release a driver with 2.6.10 support.
