I have a hard time keeping track of all the different RVxxx, what is the product name of the graphics card? Up to 4000HD series should work with the new xorg (WITH_NEW_XORG), but not all work with 3D acceleration, they use the software rasteriser instead. I have successfully run the xorg update on my desktop with a HD4850 untill today, when the cooling fan on the graphics card stopped cooling. The driver i use is the regula xf86-video-ati, not the radeonhd driver. The old configuration should still work, since neither mesa (libGL etc), libdri, libdrm nor xorg-server was particularly updated, only client libraries and drivers were. Remember to recompile all drivers and everything at the same time, to have drivers and server match. Regards! -- Niclas
