If I'm reading the changelogs right, I believe any 2.6.34 build prior to
2.6.34-14 actually has *older* drm code than F13 kernels do, because F13
kernels got a backport of drm-next (drm-core-next.patch) while F14
kernels prior to that date don't. So you may want to try 2.6.34-14 as
well to check if it still works with that...
Just checked with yum, "-11" seems to be it unless you build it yourself:
Installed Packages
kernel.x86_64 2.6.33.3-79.fc13 @fedora
kernel.x86_64 2.6.33.3-85.fc13 @fedora
kernel.x86_64 2.6.33.4-95.fc13 @updates
kernel.x86_64 2.6.34-11.fc13 installed
Available Packages
kernel.x86_64 2.6.34-11.fc14 rawhide
I'm not adverse to doing that, but not on a holiday weekend...
