HI Dear,
sorry for my english, I'm trying to describe my problem, but if I've 
understood, there is no solution for the moment, maybe (confirm this to me 
please!).
Until last week I was working with a Mandrake 8.1 distribution, perfectly (?) 
working, after all bugs resolved with the updates during last 12 months.
My system is: Intel Celeron 1.0GHz, 128MB ram, 40+8MB HD, Samtron 50V flat 
panel monitor (configured as Samsung SyncMaster 570/580 BTFT) 15'' and 
VideoCard ATI RADEON 7200 64MB ram.
All games and all application were perfectly working with the "old" version 
of XFree86 (4.1..... I don't remember anymore), Tuxracer, OpenUniverse and 
other OpenGLized apps were really greatly working. NOW: I had the not so fine 
idea to install Mandrake 8.2, coming with the new XF 4.2.0, that has also the 
chance to choose a 3D support for RADEON, BUT it does not work !
I set exactly RADEON, with the 3D accel., but none of these applications 
works anymore. Starting OpenUniverse from a shell, �after trying to load 
required GL library in /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2, the program stops on a 
"segmentation fault" error. 
De-selecting 3D acceleration, the application WORKS, but 
without accel (obvious) so it is un-usable. Changing settings on 3D accel=on 
and reducing color depth to 65k colors (instead of 16,8 million colors/24 
bit) the applications WORKS but are a little bit bad to look.
That's all. Do you think I've a problem or it is really something depending 
on XF 4.2.0 not yet ready for radeon ati ?
In this case, do you think in the future XF will be able to support Radeon 
like the previous release 4.1. ... ? (the "old version" was working! why 
Mandrake didn't include it in new mdk8.2?!).
Thank you very much for the time you will spend for answer to me !
