[elrepo] fglrx error - kernel module version does *not* match driver

[Stephen Isard]

Oh well.  Thanks for taking the time.  All that "[glesx] Can not create 
colormap surface" stuff isn't an issue then?

I've tried filing a bug with amd in the past and been ignored (there is 
no pseudocolor visual even though the log file says that pseudocolor is 
enabled), but I suppose it couldn't hurt to try again.  It would be a 
coincidence if the fvwm developers were running fglrx, and I'm not at 
all sure that it is an fvwm problem, given that icewm (mis)behaves the 
same way.

I'll report back if I make any progress.
