HI:
I had problem that whole machine freezing up with an ATI Radeon HD 3200 video card and fglrx. Once I login into gnome and wait a few seconds the system freeze. Is it fix it?

Salu2...

BTW - For those who are looking at the bug and want to know what kwizart and I
mean by old/new scheme, "old scheme" refers to the current setup with
livna-config-display where all configuration files are simply included in the
driver packages. "New scheme" refers to a future setup with
rpmfusion-config-display where configuration files are generated on-demand,
making driver switches much easier.

Will test at home tonight.

I saw in the last git commit you made from rpmfusion-config-display you added a
structure so we could create/destroy these files using r-c-d... I will try to
continue working on this soon, and if it works then the need for files like the
blacklist, udev configuration or power scripts will no longer be a problem.

Will fix + test compiling software against the relocated headers tonight as
well.

If we get rid of these, then FreshRPM users who install RPM Fusion will have no
upgrade path... If we no longer wish to support this upgrade path on new
branches (ie, F-11), I'm OK with that but I think that we need to keep it for
F-9/F-10.

Fixed

Done

F-10 and F-11 right away (will migrate from old to new scheme eventually), and
F-9 afterwards (but kept at the old scheme).

+1 - this is partially my fault, I don't have much time... I'm finishing the
semester mid-may, at that point I'll have much more time to finish the last
bits of r-c-d.
