ATI/AMD just announced a new fglrx driver (8.32.5) claiming X.Org 7.2 support. It has been developed and tested with openSUSE 10.2, which still ships X.Org 7.2 RC2. Unfortunately it turned out to be *not* compatible with RC3 since the "drm" module has been merged into the "dri" module between RC2 and RC3 and the driver relies on loading the "drm" module, which now no longer exists. :-( The result is a driver with DRI disabled. ATI/AMD already has a fix for the next driver release (8.33). They use a monthly release schedule. Question is if X.Org 7.3 final should address this issue. There might be other drivers affected as well. I've attached a proposal for a patch. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

7.2 RM can decide if fglrx matters or not.
The patch is no longer required since fglrx driver release 8.33.6.
