Description Wedge_ 2003-09-04 04:17:04 UTC

The ebuild completes, but trying to load the module produces an error similar to
the following:
"fglrx: Unknown symbol VMALLOC_VMADDR"
I've attached a small patch that fixes this (at least on x86). It worked for me,
and at least one other person. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge mm-sources
2. emerge ati-drivers
3. modprobe fglrx
