Hi Scott, I have a Mobility Radeon HD 4200, indeed, xf86-video-ati in base lacks 2D/3D & XVideo acceleration.
Compiling a newer version of the radeon DDX driver "works for me", trying the obsolete "radeonhd" driver is also an option (..I found it unstable). So far, 6.14.0 works.. 6.14.1 does not (X server segfaults). $ ftp http://ftp.x.org/pub/individual/driver/xf86-video-ati-6.14.0.tar.gz $ tar xvzf xf86-video-ati-6.14.0.tar.gz; cd xf86-video-ati-6.14.0/ $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/X11R6 --sysconfdir=/etc --mandir=/usr/X11R6/man \ --with-xorg-module-dir=/usr/X11R6/lib/modules $ make; sudo make install This will trash the installed driver though, so, be prepared if it breaks. Hopefully the base driver will get updated soon. -Bryan.
