Thanks, Iain, this made my upgrade to 2.6.15 go without a hitch. You |
| 20 |
saved me some time on the Rage3D forums (where I would have also found |
| 21 |
this information, but I didn't have to go there to look because you |
| 22 |
passed it on first). If you hadn't mentioned, I would probably have |
| 23 |
masked the kernel upgrades until a new ATI driver release. |

Appreciate the heads-up :-) . |
