[PlanetCCRMA] radeon 9700 fc3

[jd002c5250@blueyonder.co.uk]

Nice,

I found the depmod file.

All I could find on the ati card was:

fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies,
Starnberg, GERMANY' taints kernel.
fglrx: Unknown symbol pci_find_class

I have to say I laughed at the tainted bit.

Sorry if this is a hassle. I am learning a lot as I go but obviously I am
new to a lot of this.

Thank you

Dominic
