I'll report back more when I have things I can substantiate. |

As for now I'd recommend being careful and not using it. For some |
| 22 |
reason, possibly related or possibly not, none of my vmplayer |
| 23 |
appliances work at all. They just die with error messages leaving lock |
| 24 |
files behind in their respective directories and processes left |
| 25 |
running in memory? I don't see how this would be caused by the git |
| 26 |
version of the radeon driver but I'm not a happy camper at the moment. |

Note that the only positive I've seen in this short test so far is the |
| 29 |
KDE menus scroll up and down far more smoothly. |
