Indeed, I hadn't noticed that thread on the xfree86 list (on radeon 7200
support). The patch discussed there, which I include below, gets rid of
the text mode corruption I'm seeing. I'm all for it.
I also attached the current diff between the log files when I run
XFree86 the first and second times on my PCI Radeon 7000. I assume the
differences are harmless.
Thanks again for all your help!
Cheers, Wayne
