I haven't read about any need for patches for this one on 2.6.26 kernels, so I made this the new default.

Note: do not upgrade to 2.6.27, there is currently no 2.6.27 support, and unless you guys post links to tested and working patches using the sgfxi patch method, I won't be accepting any patches.

However, I did make it a lot easier to test patches in general in sgfxi, so I might make an exception if the patch is done in standard syntax, runnable from inside driver primary extract directory, that is.

So anyone running this driver, don't update your debian sid kernel until you read that it's working.

If the driver fails on a standard debian sid 2.6.26 kernel, let me know, otherwise I'll leave it as new default.

Again, I don't at all care about any fglrx specific bugs or issues, all I care about is if it works, runs, installs. Also keep in mind that the new xorg is coming, so it might fail again on that.
