Bug#366114: xserver-xorg-video-ati: Issue persists: RV100 + DRI enabled = sys.wide freeze

[Matt Sulzberger <matts@bluestar.com.au>]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.5.8.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #366114


Michel,
Comments at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6429
provided me with a soultion for this.

Building xf86-video-ati-X11R7.1-6.6.0.tar.gz and replacing ati_drv.so and
radeon_drv.so from the 1:6.5.8.0-1 package with these fixed the issue. 

Of interest is that I have a PCI variant of the card and no AGP support on
my motherboard so this may rule out AGP related issues.
 

Regards,
Matt
