I thought you would like to make openSuSE better by making it "aware" of the fglrx driver that for the past year you have encouraged openSuSE users to install until belatedly the build service started catching up on driver versions. Generally the build service is 3 weeks to 2 months behind on the fglrx driver. Present example, 5.01 has been out for quite a while, but the build service is still stuck on 4.9x.
You're talking about the ATI repo on the ATI server. Please do not mix this up with openSUSE's buildservice. Reason for this delay is that driver updates are synced with SLES10, which gets better testing. And driver updates to the ATI repo can not happen more often than every 6 weeks. :-(
Further, Yast's behavior with regard to the fglrx driver has changed dramatically in the past month. Prior to the last kernel update, Yast would at least accommodate the fglrx driver on kernel updates by not forcing the install of, or downgrade to, whatever fglrx driver happens to be in the build service at the time of a kernel update. In the past the kernel update has simply ignored the driver and installed the new kernel simply resulting in the need for the kernel module being rebuilt.
I'm not aware of an kABI incompatible kernel update for openSUSE 11.0. Marcus, did I miss something here? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
