If that doesn't work, it's unlikely that CVS HEAD makes any difference (except that it's incompatible with xserver-xorg-core 1.0). If you're having problems with that, try not enabling the DRI. Future upstream versions will likely disable the DRI by default in some circumstances that are known to be problematic. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer

That's really disappointing but not my top priority. My top priority is to get my secondary PCI cards working again. I realized after I sent that message that my main concern is actually not in the ati driver itself but in xf86Bus.c: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5443#c64 So just replacing the ati driver isn't going to help. -- greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
