are there specific issues with dkms? if so, i can take a look at them. from my experience dkms works just fine so far. > - Forwarding and solving of bugs (if possible) is there a good procedure for this? amd has no "official" public support system from what i've seen. lately i've been suggesting users forward their bugs to http://emailcustomercare.amd.com, which probably just falls into an abyss. is there a better way? > - Better documentation of well known bugs and their workarounds that would be nice, but i probably don't have the time to work on that. best wishes, mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
