+Known issue:
+
+ Some Linux kernel versions (such as 2.6.29) are known to have
+ broken PAT code that causes recent versions of this driver to
+ fail, (which can manifest as the X server simply not
+ starting). This can be verified by adding the "nopat" option
+ to the kernel command-line and seeing the failure go away. We
+ hope that newer kernels in the 2.6.29.x as well as 2.6.30 and
+ above will have working PAT code.

Some of the most notable bugs fixed in 2.7.0 include:
