It's working fine at my end. Radeon card in a PWS600au, Xserver
2:1.11.1-1, the packages udev, libudev0 and libgudev-1.0-0 all held at
version 166-1. I have no xorg.conf file. Desktop opened and mouse and
keyboard work fine.
Probably only major difference is that I am running KMS which currently
requires a custom built kernel (or the very latest from kernel.org).
Nice -- makes this 13 year old Alpha appear astonishingly modern!
The DRM Gallium driver must have very recently been enabled in the mesa
packages, as it has just appeared and, what's more, it works! Bloody
brilliant. This must be the first time DRM has worked on Debian Alpha
since Etch!
Cheers
Michael.
