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. 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. As I detailed above, now you are forced to take the build service driver as a mandatory dependency without the ability to decline the driver update. That's not the way it should work. That's just a sloppy side effect. If this is the way you want it to work - fine. Being a change that effects ATI driver users, I thought I would bring it to the devs attention so it could be fixed instead of being swept under the rug and something that causes problems later. -- 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.
