/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel contains kernel modules, which the X server doesn't deal with directly, never has. If the fglrx driver doesn't work with 4.3 (I thought there's a new version that does?), that's probably because the XFree86 module ABI changed. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer \ Debian (powerpc), XFree86 and DRI developer Software libre enthusiast \ http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
