** Description changed: Jockey failed to install ati fglrx binary driver. - This is because a version of -fglrx which supports the .32 kernel and 1.7 xserver has not yet been released by ATI. - Various crashes and other assorted problems can be expected from fglrx until we receive an updated driver. + This is because a version of -fglrx which supports the .32 kernel and + 1.7 xserver has not yet been released by ATI.
