Hi all,
has anyone got the radeon 7000 video card to work with rc2 which uses Xfree 4.3? It works fine on mdk 9.0 Xfree 4.2 in single head. I Have got the dri drivers to try out tonight. Any gotcha's that I should know about?
I know the mobile Radeon in my laptop doesn't work with DRI. Specifically, whenever I try to restart the X server (including changing the screen resolution, logging out of my desktop, or rebooting), the system locks up bad and forces me to do a hard reboot. By disabling 3d acceleration (DRI), this problem went away. This is apparently a known bug in the radeon driver - I found the problem mentioned in the Mandrake Cooker mailing list archives.
I am running Mandrake 9.1 rc2, updated to Cooker, including X 4.3.
