Hello dear siduction users!
The new stable kernel 4.1 is out now and siduction already provides latest packages,
together with nvidia-driver (version 346.72) and fglrx-driver (version 15.200).
Our core team member towo` has a heart for users who want to use their hardware as good as possible.
Not only does he package the latest kernels with free drivers in excellent quality for us, but he also spares no effort in supporting proprietary drivers. Towo` does this work not only for his own hardware, but he supports users of intel, nvidia and even fglrx. Some weeks ago the siduction project has provided an AMD based test system for towo`, to support his activities. As a result we see a well tested fglrx-driver in the siduction repo, readily patched for the kernel 4.1.
Many thanks, towo`!
Donations are welcome, see this (german) Link http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?page=3

Thanks for your fast reply. What is the name of it?

Thanks, that worked.
Since Firestarter. I've never had to do anything to upgrade the kernel. I have no idea why that meta package wasn't installed. When I searched apt for siduction or linux or kernel, I got an overwhelming list of choices.
Thank you towo!!
thank you very much, towo!!
