No problem, then make them work. Do you understand S10 images do not work with any AMD card? > Have you provided logs? No. Did other users (Joost) reported issues? No. I attached cookbug wherever possible. If live system reboots before even loading X and interactive mode does not work, it's hard really hard for me to provide them. > From a driver/software standpoint, fglrx is fine and implemented > correctly (Joost did test it). I only ran those test series you know before leaving for Lyon, and I got back yesterday night. For me fglrx appeared to be correctly configured, but the same hardware that works perfectly with mainline was not able to boot with the iso. > As I said, go buy real hardware next time, not bricks. > Not my problem, file bugs upstream. Tell the same to every AMD user, then. If you want to provide a distro with AMD support, it's up to you (us) to find decent configuration and test it. Otherwise, let's just state that we only support Intel and nVidia. > Once I will enable KMS for radeon by default in Linux 3.6, this won't > be possible out of the box, and the user would need to provide > "nomodeset" boot option in order to have fglrx working and loaded. > We don't force kernel upgrades on users so this will be fine and a > notice will be issued in any case once 3.6 is in main repos. That is fine. My concern is about hardware NOT loading X when using the live. I'm not asking for miracles, but just for releasing thing when we're sure they work as we expect. > Can you understand the problem? I'm not sure you are (knock knock?).

Moreover, normally people just buy random things, most of them do not even know what kind of graphics they do have. Try to be open minded. -- Ing. Dott.
