Hi all,
just a heads up. If you use the ATI binary driver, and install the latest kernel update (2.6.34.7-0.3), then you will no longer be able to recompile the ATI driver due to missing compat_alloc_user_space() symbol in fglrx/kcl_ioctl.c.
According to http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1277377, the "compat_alloc_user_space()" symbol became GPL-only, got moved to another header, etc.
Personally, I find it unbelievable that openSUSE kernel team would release a minor kernel upgrade that would screw up all users of the ATI binary driver.
This link to a hack came up in the forums: <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1577815&page=2> It recreates the missing function in the kernel headers. (I'm not taking sides... I just don't have anything ATI >:-) ) - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
