Well, I'm kind of a newbie, but using info I learned on this list, I downloaded, compiled, and installed X from CVS, because my Radeon 8500 isn't supported by XFree 4.1.0. A bit of tweaking and my card is now 1000% better than when using that horrid framebuffer thingy. At least I have 1024 x 768 in 16 bit color at 85 Hz, which is a tremendous improvement. So from here, it will probably only get better. Apparently, ATI has had a change of heart and is now releasing its specs to projects like XFree86.
