AFAIR Jer is only a wrangler (ok, "only" is not the right word, but you |
| 15 |
know what I mean) so he's likely not going to get into too much detail |
| 16 |
about the specifics of the bug wrt fglrx, ati, etc. You'd have better |
| 17 |
luck talking to a dev who deals with fglrx or the kernel, and convincing |
| 18 |
them to look at it. |

I know it can be frustrating to have bugs marked as INVALID, but saying |
| 21 |
"your justification for marking this as INVALID is actually the invalid |
| 22 |
thing here ... not my bug report" is probably going to get you ignored! |

I'm not disagreeing with you here, but I do think you will have a hard |
| 25 |
time getting hard evidence it's specifically the fglrx driver, and not |
| 26 |
some effect the fglrx driver is having on your hw... |

If Chuck Norris round-house kicks you, you will die. If Chuck Norris' |
