I have an old ATI Radeon 9000 (r250) and I am usin default xorg in FreeBSD. I didn't try the "new" one because I am not sure if will work because as you wrote "much legacy hardware is remowed". But my Radeon 9000 works very good and fast on Mageia Linux with Xorg 1.13.0. Mitja -------- http://www.redbubble.com/people/lumiwa
