Uh thats the idea, thats why this is posted. :-) I realize the problem. We 
need someone to build the binaries for the ati drivers and pop them into 
sn rpm something like what we do with the nvidia drivers. That way there 
is no need to compile the modules. I think would simplify the process a 
whole lot, and then we could create an ati-enable, and I think that would 
make lots and lots of people happy. I however dont have any ati devices, 
so that person cant be me.
