Gentle readers,

I've observed the phenomenon "kernel 2.6.27.19-3.2-default breaks ATI
Proprietary Linux Driver-8.582" on two different systems.

Both are running SuSE 11.1 with current kernel update.

Before the kernel update, both systems worked flawlessly on the video side.

1st. System:
Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard
Product Name: HP Compaq dc5750 Microtower

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS482 [Radeon Xpress
200]
01:05.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Xpress Series (RS482)


In the last driver version the X200 do'nt appear supported:
https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/catalyst_92_linux.pdf

used at work

2nd. System:
Asrock K7S41GX
Radeon 9550

used at home

You can download the latest driver from:
http://support.amd.com/la/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.37&lang=English

I'm using the 9.2 beta version, and with opensuse 11.1 kernel
2.6.27.19-3.2-pae, with my Radeon HD4670, it works fine.

Regards
