Interesting. I did not notice anything yet, and I can run the C program
below just fine:

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7435944.html

I was having gkrellm dying with version 319.49, but it seems stable until
now with 321.20
Maybe this depends on the card type, but I did not see any report for
fedora, and rpm fusion is shipping this driver for F19:

http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/updates/19/x86_64/repoview/index.html

Anyway, I removed a test, for applying patch0, from the spec file, which
was causing the kernel module compilation fail for fedora.
