I have a QD and an AMD 761, and I got it to work quite well after applying the following (got this through a bug tracker kind of thing at either xfree86 or DRI, don't remember which one): --- You have to comment out the register RADEON_SOFT_RESET_HDP in /xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ati/radeon_accel.c in and for DRI in /xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel/radeon_cp.c (with the | before the register) --- The last bit only applies to Linux. The statement is a bit confusing in it's meaning, but basically commenting out the two occurences of said register (including the preceding '|', of course) is what 'they' mean to say. I have seen more reports of happy people after doing so. I heard this was fixed in xfree86 CVS as well (shortly after XFree86 4.1.0 came out), but haven't really felt the need to grab that CVS-tree so far. Good luck. -- Alban Hertroys http://solfertje.student.utwente.nl - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - AD&D: You fall from the cliff. The ground attacks you.
