I've been using XFree86 from CVS since I installed my ATI Radeon VE. 
 While the main ATI Radeon line was supported in XFree86 4.1.0, proper 
support for the dual-head ATI Radeon VE was not in that release.  I have 
been following CVS, infrequently updating to the latest tag over my slow 
modem connection, and I have to say the tree tagged xf-4_1_99_2 is 
excellent.

The following annoyances I've found have been fixed in this release:
-my cursor would "stick" when it was within 1 or 2 pixels of the left 
side of the screen (and would reappear normally immediatly when I moved 
off of that side of the screen)
-I didn't need to mangle my site.cf / linux.cf files with the 
-fno-merge-contants to compile this version, which was a real relief.
-DRM started working!  Very very cool.

My computer is a Celron 433 with 192 megs of RAM running KDE2.2.1 under 
RedHat 7.2.

I'd like to eventually express my gratitude by eventually providing code 
contributions.  Could anyone give me a pointer or a link to a good, 
recent XFree86 development HOWTO/ getting started documentation?  In the 
mean time, thank you developers for an excellent prelude to a great 
4.2.0 release.
