You may want to try pulling the latest packaging script changes from Phorogit.com.

for me googleearth and 10.10 hardlocks my system (magic sysrq key also doesn't work)

both happens with or without compiz (/compositing) running

I don't know if this is only related to a buggy googleearth binary/ebuild

glxgears and fgl_glxgears runs fine, accelerated fullscreen flash also - so it could be limited only to googleearth

the same also happened with the 10.10 preview/beta for ubuntu

It is really poor that the driver does not support .36 kernel out of the box. You can fetch the 2 needed patches from the fglrx-packageing git in the Mandriva dir. I added the 2nd patch now into my script to support .36 final.

http://kanotix.com/files/install-fglrx-debian.sh

to install run it inside X (requires reboot, may keep old version file):

sudo -i
DISPLAY= sh install-fglrx-debian.sh -z

otherwise it seems to work best when kdm/gdm was shut down manually before the script and rmmod fglrx longer before. I do the same in the script but maybe due to heavy system load something is different and it likes to crash then.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't packaging/installation scripts managed by maintainers for each supported distro?
Apply for a packager seat!

I wasn't aware of the phorogit.com site, thanks, I just HATE hitting a wall and giving up, it's not the penguin way!

It is not normal that you have to patch a NEW driver when a final kernel was out before and rc stage of that kernel was several month long. There was more than enough time for AMD to add support for it. Nvidia has .36 support down to 173.xx directly - well i had to patch 96.xx there too.

Same old bugs for me
