Hi all

This seems to be generic problem with the -78.0.22.EL
kernel (-89.EL too BTW): we see it as well here at CERN

Unfortunately we are not able to find any fix/workaround:
so far we tested the catalyst 9.5/9.4/9.3/9.2/9.1/8.8/8.7/
8.28.8 fglrx driver and none works on SL(C)4 anymore.

(Also none of fglrx driver versions we've tested -
9.5/9.4/9.2/8.7 - works on SL(C)5 with kernel -128.1.10.el5)

So if anybody on this list got a version of fglrx that
works: please let others know...

As for unresolved symbols in driver: this is due to
picking up wrong fglrx X11 driver version from ATI/AMD
package: ie not the one for X11 release that 4 uses: x710


Cheers

Jarek

PS: We've asked RedHat about and they also do not know
     which version(s) of fglrx could work on 4/5 ...
