Does anyone have information on what the future will be for
the ATI fglrx drivers under Fedora 9 since the linux 2.6.25
kernel is now being used? From the section titled "Kernel 2.6.25
and ATI driver fglrx 8.476" at...
http://www.frogge.de/pepper/patch/patch.html#fglrx
...it appears that the Linux 2.6.25 kernel has been changed
to coerce the non-GPL drivers into changing their license
by restricting access to kernel symbols for non-GPL drivers.
Does anyone know if Fedora 9's kernel disabled that change
or will we have to wait until ATI works around the new
limitations on compiling their non-GPL drivers under
the 2.6.25 kernel?
