Hi,

does anybody know about patches for the ATI-drivers 12.3 to work with
git-sources 3.4_rc3 ?


Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

Well, "patch" is too formal for the ugly hack I use

After building your new kernel you should patch one kernel header file
before building ati-drivers (taken from lkml):

Here's the ugly part: some names in compat.h were changed recently, and
I can't be bothered to do a proper fix, so I hacked this together instead:

NOTE: my new machine has 4 cpus, numbered 0 through 3, and I hardcoded that
number into the ati code, above, instead of deciphering the new kernel headers.
Ugly, ugly, ugly. But it works perfectly

If you have two cpus you should change the p<4 to p<2, etc. And then wait
for a professional fix from ati

Many thanks, Walt,

your patches work just fine for me.

Helmut.
