I have an ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF, and I can get X to
work fine, and even report X acceleration, but I have to be *extra careful*
no to run anything that will use that acceleration (using X 4.2.1 in testing).
Running flightgear, for instance, will work OK for a few minutes, then
hang my machine in a way that only the magic sysreq will help, sometimes
not even that.
I already lost dozens of hours over the last year searching the net for
a magical XFConfig setting, to no avail. It seems my card and OpenGL just
don't get along.
Could you shed a bit more light on this? Perhaps the relevant sections of
your XFConfig file?
Thanks.
