"Joe user" would use the pre-built packages. From what I understand, they will continue working without needing a recompile, since the affected function was an inline function before, so the code is already inside the driver. As far as I know it will continue working without needing any change (but I don't currently have any ATI cards, so I can't back this up from personal experience, it is just what I have heard reported).

The prebuilt ATI packages wont install either Anders. That leaves you with their Driver Loader packages. The driver loader package ATI distributes builds drivers on the fly and it fails too. If I roll back one kernel, it will (maybe) build.
Currently using what they call Catalyst 10.9 on 2.6.34.7-0.2-desktop. It builds and works, though I see it as a regression. Drag a window and it smears really bad and there are some artifacts affecting scrolling in Kontact and Konsole that I've seen so far. Killing the app when this happens and restarting it usually makes things good again. 10.9 is very noticeably slower than 10.8. Think I will go back to 10.8 until next month.
Thats probably because it silently "fell back to something horrible" as Lew Wolfgang so eloquently put it. Its probably loaded Mesa at that point and you are not using what you think you are using. -- _____________________________________ At one time I had a Real Sig.
