ATI And Current Linux distributions

[grib]

I have been using the Debian packages for 9.6 with 2.6.30 kernels with not too much problems (other than the standard problems of proprietary drivers). I am building the 9.7 modules now. So if there's a problem with kernel incompatibility, the Debian maintainers have done some black magic to work around. I would expect Ubuntu would work as well.
