Well, *you* are able to read and take input, but there are a few who
have preconceived notions and are unwilling to countenance that they
might be mistaken. Hence, I am not sure about lack of need to shout
for some people.

DRI as in the kernel support for various chipset accelerations? I am
not trying to get faster 3D support or support any fancy rendering.
I am simply trying to have working 2D.
I am using the radeon driver supplied with xfree86 4.3 in debian/sid.
I can set the display to 1400x1050 but there is a band about an inch
or so (roughly 100-200 pixels in width) along the rightmost edge where
the picture is distorted by odd shadings.
