For those who've sold their GPL soul to use the binary drivers from NVIDIA...

NVIDIA have announced a new release of their graphic card drivers:
version '1.0-5336'

http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux.html

This release has support for Linux 2.6 kernels, fixes AGP failures on some VIA motherboards, and fixes a problem that prevented X from running on Samsung X10 laptops.

That reminds me. What ATI cards are supported by the radeon and r128 drm driver in the stock kernel.

Yes. I've been using fglrx in 2.6 for the longest time. The key is to to put '#if 0' & '#endif' around the code of the function, and put in 'return 0' at the bottom. Compile, install, and enjoy.
