FC2 T2 and ATI fglrx

[Chris McDonough]

Hi Jesus,

Thanks!

Using the driver I compiled from more or less straight ATI sources
(without your REGPARM patches) I am getting a lot of error messages in
the system log like so:

Apr 15 22:36:00 localhost kernel: Debug: sleeping function called from
invalid context at include/asm/semaphore.h:119

The kernel is compiled with PREEMPT.

The machine has frozen on me once since I added the fgrlx driver with no
way to recover (sysrq didn't work either).  But I have no way of knowing
whether the lockup was related to the fglrx driver or not, as nothing
appeared in the logs.

Thanks again!
