I feel I don't need 2.6.10 anyway, 2.6.9 is good.

ATI is crap why did you buy one the windows drivers are not even that good. Get a reat video card.

Heh, I was a Windows user when I bought my Radeon 9700, and then Radeon 9700 really owned all the other cards.

It was ok but did not have as much direct game support as nvidia. Not my doom3 pic for windows or linux.

Currently using 2.6.10-ac1, very stable, cdrecord works like a charm and the system in general seems...... faster.

so so, my pc seems to slow down every now and then, (every 20 secs or so) making my mouse movment/typing jumpy. but this comes and goes and is probably more my computer than the kernel. does anyone else get this problem? i might have selected somthing funny... it has fixed my reiser issue though. i couldnt get 2.6.9 to work with reiser, somthing about an invalid blocks or somthing. doesnt matter all good now! soyeah. pretty good. only issue is that slowdown and thats probably not a kernel problem..

minibootsy you did not post enoff info for us to help you. tell me more i can do live support in freenode #linuxfriends

With 2.6.10, udev does not generate /dev/dsp and alike, also /dev/sound is created as a node
device file and not as a folder as it was in 2.6.9. For the time, I downgrade to 2.6.9 until I find
how to fix this udev 'failure'

...and maybe that's why my sound wasn't working when i first booted 2.6.10.
today i tried to fix it, but all i had to do was run " alsamixer & alsactl store " again
( things were muted ).
after unmuting all sound works ok ( tv, xine/mplayer . games ).

I have to start manually /etc/rc.d/rc.udev start after the boot in order to create the
required /dev/sound/* device files and symlinks, so the udev rules are good but they just
don't work at boot (only the sound files, all other /dev/* files are ok). I wonder why...

same thing on my pc.
looking at the rc.udev-script it gets the info on what nodes to make
from the sysfs.
guess smth. changed there.

but sound works with and without the extra nodes.

I'm running 2.6.7 w/ Slackware 10 on an IBM Thinkpad 600, and APM works fine and dandy with no problems. What problems are you encountering?
