I will look at all this as soon as i get back home :) I was doing some research on this R300 stuff too but with little success. By the way i got a little question regarding ACPI. Does any one is looking for this issue (i guess it is a drm issue) ? Maybe it is a part of the on going work of drm restructuration.
