Are there some 7.1 packages we should be testing, or should I build it

I am yet another person having trouble with a Radeon 9250. I recently 
discovered that even running fbset to change the resolution causes the 
framebuffer to show pretty colors, even when "changing" to the same 
resolution it was originally working at. Anyone else seeing this?
