Re: new ati drivers

Ok, here attached is the make.log file found in 
/var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.35.5-1.fc6/build. Considering the amount of 
errors, this code is a very nice piece of crap! Anyway, I think it may 
be still the problem with 2.6.20 kernel, I read on Phoronix that this 
new version adds support for 2.6.20 kernels only on FC6 and rawhide, 
that may mean that they just patch their code with the patch we also 
used for 8.34.
I know that the new control panel is a ugly binary blob, but still on 
Phoronix they state that the old free one will be definitely dropped in 
the 8.36 release so... better get used, in my opinion :/
