Re: [Cooker] Latest XFree86 w/Radeon and hardware accellerationrebootssystem.

[George Mitchell]

I would love to work with somebody to get this fixed, but I am stuck with a 56K modem and getting the ISOs is a major hassle. If somebody can get me a copy of the ISO (I am in California), I am willing to do my best. I have plenty of removable hard drives so loading it would not be a problem.

Well I have a Radeon 7000 that works with neither 8.2 or 9.0 unless
accelleration is somehow disabled. It works flawlessly with Red Hat 8.0
though. There is simply some problem lurking in Mandrake that trashes
these early Radeon cards. I originally suspected it was in the glx
libraries but I have lately been hearing that it was a kernel 'drm'
module. All I really know is that it fails badly, even when
accelleration is not in use.

Are you planning on testing 9.1 beta on it? I don't have too much time
available, and would appreciate it if someone took this up and ensured
that at least there are valid bugzilla entries for cards that failed
on 8.2 and 9.0 before we hit RCs, then I can spend time doing other stuff
(packaging etc).
