I wasn't very lucky with the ati git tree, so far .. I hope I'll have
some time soon to give this tree another chance ... :) I'm still
running the unpatched experimental Debian package: 6.7.196-1

Definitely my mistake. I wasn't clear enough: Actually it seems that
everything that is in the randr-1.2 tree is also in the master tree -
there seems to be even more in master. You can see this in the ati
tree, e.g. with a
git-rev-list origin/master --until="Tue Aug 05" --pretty | less
resp. with
git-rev-list origin/randr-1.2 --until="Tue Aug 05" --pretty | less
So I thought why does Alex Deucher recommend the randr-1.2 tree for a
compile? I think I found the answer:
http://www.nabble.com/radeon-tv-out-tf4221095.html#a12106111
"I've just pushed tv-out support to the radeon randr-1.2 branch."
So although in *retrospective* view (seen with the commands above) it
seems there is everything from the randr.1-2 branch also in the master
tree, there seem to be times when randr-1.2 had contents that were
just not yet in master.
In other words: there are things between heaven and earth that even
such a nifty tool like git will not be able to explain to me, or least
not to me... :)
Whatever. Thanks for caring, Bin ... :)

Wolfgang
