me too - with 2.6.30 and everything. 2d was very good, better than vesa. 3d does not work - of course. The only reason I do not use them: no powermanagment.

So what might be the reason? Every error line are ca 200byte. To reach even a megabyte you need a lot of them... for some reason, even the worst kernel log file did only grow to 662k on this system. And why should I and other who really don't have problems with the driver be punished because some others do? Last time I checked (3minutes ago) they were still marked unstable. So they are not forced upon you. It is your choice to use 2.6.29 or .30. And it is your choice to use that driver. > > Maybe you should relax instead presupposing that all the bad things about > fglrx+.30 are my fault.
