Bug#319947: Current RADEON driver in xserver-xorg is ancient.

[Samuli Suominen <drac@hdr.unk.fi>]

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4
Severity: wishlist


Current RADEON driver in X.Org 6.8.2 doesn't support Non-Rectangular MergedFB
Desktops, or AGPMode 8x, not to mention r300 drivers from DRI CVS. X.Org CVS
Snapshots, like 6.8.99.15 does. Maybe RADEON driver should be backported
from HEAD to current Debian X.Org ? Would be lovely to use Debian again,
with Fast, Accellerated, Open Source Dualhead.
