The mirrors are taking a bit to get caught up. You want to look for snaps dated June 2, 17:00 or later .. another way to verify the newer ati driver is included is if mach64_drv.so is in xbase44.tgz.

The r128 and mach64 drivers have been split out | in this release, but the "ati" wrapper should take care of that. | | Now, there's some changes in this driver update that you may wish to be | aware of: | | macpcc users: | if you use any quirks for your macbook, or have a mac, you may | want to check "man 4 radeon" and look at the "MacModel" option | if you have any trouble. The old mac quirk option (the name of | which escapes me right now), has been removed. | | dual head users: | If you used "MergedFb", i warn you that this has also gone, | superceded by xrandr 1.2. so if you use this in your setup, i | recommend you look into migrating. while intel specific, the | following page has some generally useful information: | | http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html | | EXA acceleration: | this driver makes the EXA acceleration method the default (the | snaps also have a change to make intel default since bugs in it | have been fixed with the xserver update). Sometimes this | acceleration method is still a little slow (or quite slow in | some cases), so if you find the driver to be acting slower than | you're used to, first try: | | Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" | | in xorg.conf. We may make this default until we update to | xserver 1.5, which needs to wait for it to be finalised and | released. | | If it's still too slow, then instead you can revert to XAA | acceleration for 2d using: | | Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" | A note on newer cards: | This new version of the radeon driver also supports newer cards | normally treated by the radeonhd driver, if you normally use | that driver, feel free to try this one if you're having any | trouble. | | That should be all the gotchas. If you notice any regressions, please | notify myself (oga@) and Matthieu Herrb (matthieu@) | | Cheers, | | -0- | -- | Don't take life too seriously -- you'll never get out of it alive.
