hrm, i'm typing this on a C600... it took a little tweaking but seems to
work quite well, whereas 4.1 did not work for me at all (corrupted
display, hangs the box completely, etc).
i haven't really tried dri, but glxinfo does report that it's detected.
my c600 only has 8MB of video memory, so it doesn't support the max
resolution of 1400x1200. If you use 1280x1024 then it does get
enabled, but fonts look a little funny on that resolution (on
windows too....)
I've put my config and log at http://people.debian.org/~tausq/
YMMV, of course ...
