Is ati-drivers not going to be built against the stock kernel like previously planned (and maybe moved to extra)? I thought 2.6.13 would have the correct things compiled as modules and maintaining a ati-drivers for the stock would probably be easier since stock is updated less frequently (or so it seems) and it would probably be easier for the average user. Or is there a problem with doing this? Just wondering...
