I've never heard of this problem before. As far as I'm aware the EXTRAVERSION usually is not included in version.h so it seems to be a limitation of the flgrx installer? That would mean the flgrx installer wouldn't work on any kernel with an extra version such as the -rc releases of mainline even. So I'm sorry but I don't really know what to do about this problem. -- -ck - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
