Yes, really: Before I upgraded to a snapshot of the fox-gate from 20090201sun (which I fetched and built after Alan's announcement), therefore server 1.5.3 and also the updated drivers, I could only get Xorg working on this ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics] by means of vesa. Now I can either choose radeonhd, radeon or vesa. This means that support for the RS780M/RS780MN chips has been added to both drivers, radeonhd *and* radeon. This is what I meant. > %martin
