I just installed kernel 2.6.11 on my SuSE 9.2 box. Not because I like 
compiling kernels (my finger nails are short after that) but to get my new 
Audigy 2 Value sound card to work.

But doing that broke fglrx. I tried reinstalling 8.8.25 but got compile 
errors. I then tried 8.10.19. The "make modules" step completed albeit with a 
lot of warnings. But the "make install" failed. Couldn't find "modules_add". 
But after replacing "modules_add" with "modules_install" 
in /usr/src/kernel-modules/fglrx/Makefile then also that step completed 
without fatal errors. But fglrx still doesn't work. I get "DRI initialization 
failed!" in the X log. lsmod does not show fglrx. So I tried modprobing it. 
And that failed. And dmesg says "fglrx: Unknown symbol remap_page_range".
I googled for remap_page_range and it appears that that function has now been 
removed from the kernel and that remap_pfn_range is to be used instead and 
that that takes a little more than just a simple name change.

But otherwise 2.6.11 works ok so far. I haven't come across any misbehaviors 
yet. And it is more responsive.
