Installing 3.13 kernel on Saucy (13.10) - possible? [duplicate]

Question

I wanted to install 3.13.5 kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.13.5-trusty/ . I know that the folders are called trusty but can I install them on 13.10 ? After tying dpkg -i on the packages I get the following:

$ sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.13.5-031305_3.13.5-031305.201402221823_all.deb linux-headers-3.13.5-031305-generic_3.13.5-031305.201402221823_i386.deb linux-image-3.13.5-031305-gene

I have found a solution:

I have applied the following patch (found on http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/493913-ATI-Proprietary-driver-13-12-installation-fails-in-openSUSE-13-1 )

And now it works :)

Answer 2

That just means that you won't be able to load the fglrx module on startup, which provides 3D graphics acceleration for AMD GPUs. The kernel should still be installed fine.
