No, I don't NEED the 2.6.39, but I'll want to aid in testing and this version promises far better performance - on the file system as well as for concurrent processes since the big kernel lock has gone. The patches which have been posted recently, see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368081 seem to work (I'm just writing on a machine running 2.6.39 with 4 cores and the patched ati-driver) Helmut.
