Bug#566669: Removing the VGA arb check works fine with ATI Radeon 9200

[Pablo Duboue <pablo.duboue@gmail.com>]

Hi,

This blog post:

  http://airlied.livejournal.com/67628.html

describes that the arbiter code is there for some particular cases that'll be 
enabled as more testing is available.

Getting the source from xorg-server-1.7.4 and modifying

  hw/xfree86/dri/dri.c
  hw/xfree86/dri2/dri2.c

to comment out the arbiter check produces a xserver-xorg-core that get DRI 
enabled without switching to KMS.

I also tried the radeon driver in experimental with KMS but segfault on start.

My second graphics card is on-board and it is disabled, so I don't expect it 
to interfere.

Hope this helps (and thanks for keeping the bug open, it was great info!)

Pablo
