Antw: [opensuse-factory] kernel 2.6.27.19-3.2-default breaks ATI Proprietary Linux Driver-8.582
"Christoph-Erdmann Pfeiler" <Christoph-Erdmann.Pfeiler@gmx.de> 09.03.09 7.50 Uhr >>> 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. .... trimmed <<< Hi Christoph, the description of the Kernel Update said that this kernel Update breaks KABI (which means all external Kernelmodule) . According to the description it was necessary to create compatibility between Opensuse 11.1 and SLE 11 (they at the same Kernelversion now) Thisshould not happen again. as far as I am aware there is no updated proprietary ATI driver yet. (Nvidia provided one the day of the Kernelupdate over a week ago) best regards Stefan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

When running factory, any closed source kernel module issue is the problem of the company who created said module, not the kernel developers or the distro that provided the kernel, as they can not do anything about it. greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
