Doesn't really matter, it's just about finding other people with the same card and seeing whether it works for them or not. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer

See the rest of my post. The reporter of that bug doesn't even have a card from the range you suggested disabling the DRI for. The symptoms are very generic and can be caused by a wide range of specific problems. You have yet to demonstrate a systematic problem independent of specific system setup. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer

Not in my experience nor according to what I hear upstream. Even here I'd expect more similar reports if this was the case. > I heard rumors about beta quality support for some X800 chips > but not much more. I'm not aware of any remaining known upstream stability issues with any whole series of supported non-integrated Radeon cards. It's true though that there will always be issues with specific setups (combination of graphics card and motherboard chipset, ...), avoiding these would require not enabling the DRI by default regardless of the hardware or driver. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer

#include What do you think about simply removing the dri module if a recent ATI card has been detected? The entry may even be there, but commented. The reason is simple, it still causes trouble with dying (system locking) X server, and for many people the stuff does not work anyway without the non-free driver. I heard rumors about beta quality support for some X800 chips but not much more.
