Has anybody else tried Xorg 7.0 on an Ultra 5 (or similar) with an ATI
3D Rage Pro?  Or am I the only one experiencing problems?  The wiki
page [0] currently only shows Jurij's success with an ATI board and a
failure with a Raptor board.

At least, this proves that I can live without X.  ;-)

Thanks,
Ludovic.
