I am not entirely happy with it. I am running Debian SID vith a 2.6 kernel, XFree86 4.3 and when I use the "radeon" driver, I have a 50% chance that upon X startup the screen will become completely garbled and unusable. Switching to a text console and pressing Fn-D does not help. So I use the vesa driver at the moment. That always works fine.
