Re: ATI Radeon M6 LY in Edgy - does some crashing - how do I debug?

My assumption about the prefix thing was wrong, I guess, but I've got the  
stuff backed up anyway. It seemed to install in modules/multimedia as  
well, but since I only patched the radeon_driver.so file, and this source  
 from the same version as was already installed, there really should be no  
affects.
