If you are using the ELRepo drivers, simply updating to their latest
packages should resolve the issue.
If you've manually deployed the drivers, you'll have more work ahead.
If you have applied all the most recent security errata, then you
already have the newest X and kernel. If things work with those
already, you should be fine.

Major Differences from SL6.5
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
OpenAFS
OpenAFS has been updated to version 1.6.10 from openafs.org
<http://openafs.org>
xorg-x11-server
Features a new ABI, this was a security errata so it should be
available to earlier releases.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
POSSIBLE UPGRADE PROBLEMS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Users of proprietary drivers may experience issues with the X server
loading due to changes between Xorg 1.13 and Xorg 1.15.
Users of the 32bit iscsi utilities on x86_64 systems may experience
multilib complaints. The 32bit iscsi utilities are not provided by
upstream on x86_64 platforms. We have removed them from 6.6 to follow
their behavior.
