Tx for the info but why the driver worked perfercly with previous versions of the kernel(2.6.31-10 and previous versions present in Kubuntu 9.10 Alpha 4( Alpha 4 installed with the 2.6.31-5.24 kernel based on 2.6.31-rc5, see http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha4 for more info) and Alpha 5(Alpha 5 installed with the 2.6.31-9.29 kernel based on 2.6.31-rc8, see http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha5 for more info) and not with 2.6.31-12?
On both Kubuntu 9.10 Alpha 4 and Alpha 5 the same driver installed without error. Since the kernel 2.6.31 no longer export the symbol find_task_by_vpid as you said, would it be logical that the problem should also occures with all the kernel 2.6.31 versions and not just with the most recent versions of this kernel ? I've also reported the bug to AMD. I'm not expecting a fast reply from them but maybe one day i'll have their side of the story lol. I apreciate your efforts, i will try it when i'll find all the documentation i need to compile the kernel and what results i should expect and what problems could eventually occure after the operation. I will post the results as soon as i can. If it don't work, i guess my only hope to solve this will be the next ATI Catalyst driver due later this october. If nothing is solved with the new ATI Catalyst driver and the final release of Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic. i might consider the option to install Kubuntu 9.04 (with kernel 2.6.28-15 since the driver installed and worked to perfection) .
