Re: [OOPS] 2.4.20-rc4-ac1 (also occurs 2.4.20-rc2-ac3) in radeon DRI for XFree86

[Joshua Kwan <joshk@mspencer.net>]

Not good! Not good!

Booted fine with no oops or DRI init errors while starting X.

and the quake3 test, alas:

- went into 640x480 correctly but would not display the opening movie;
- keyboard stopped responding and I had to hard-shutdown.
- i was wearing headphones too and I got some big static from my sound card :X

Looked okay, but it seems to not work all the way.
Compiling the driver gave me lots of warnings which I am not entirely sure appear in the kernels before those affected:
