Got /that/ part of it sorted, now. Running the 6.9.0 driver now and know |
| 12 |
rather more about RandR 1.2 compatible xorg.conf settings now. |

Unfortunately, ATM it seems slower than the old 6.6.3 driver. Moving the |
| 15 |
cursor around in konsole, I have to wait longer for the display to |
| 16 |
scroll, now and I've noticed it a few other places too. However, I'm not |
| 17 |
thru tweaking it yet, and had disabled some accel when I was trying to |
| 18 |
figure out what was crashing, so it might speed back up after I'm done. |

But it's working now, while it was crashing or at ridiculous resolutions |
| 21 |
previously, so I'm most of the way there. Even if it does end up a bit |
| 22 |
slower now, at least I know the new drivers work, so I'm not so worried |
| 23 |
about upgrading the hardware now. |
