I don't know what I can do. I'm not willing to set up a hacker kernel |
| 30 |
and start debugging ATI's module. I posted that bug and also posted on |
| 31 |
Phoronix to warn people to check if they're affected by this. At least, |
| 32 |
that's enough for a "told you so" reply later ;D (Though I hope it's |
| 33 |
just my PC that's acting up here, I don't wish anyone any kind of data |
| 34 |
loss or anything.) |

Other than that, I'll wait for Catalyst 8.12 and see what happens. |
