No problem with x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati (6.6.1) here. Kernel 2.6.17 |
| 9 |
(kernel.org vanilla), xorg-7.1, compiled with gcc 4.1.1. |

Of course, I don't use slaveryware, so don't use the slaveryware ati |
| 12 |
drivers. I haven't read of any kernel issues with them, but last I read, |
| 13 |
they didn't have a version for xorg-modular, either 7.0 or 7.1, yet. |
| 14 |
That is of course one of the problems with using slaveryware, users are |
| 15 |
dependent on the whims of their software master for updates, which often |
| 16 |
lag the freedomware versions, if the master deigns to release updates at |
| 17 |
all. The Nvidia slaves' master is likewise lagging. |
