RE: xorg 7.0 and Radeon 7500
Fwiw, the Gentoo alpha port skipped over 7.0 and just recently marked
7.1 as "stable". (I'm not sure why 7.0 was skipped over). So, maybe
there would be some merit in trying out 7.1 .

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