My opinion above was based on debian bug #582041 [1] and the Ubuntu |
| 16 |
pages referenced by it. Note that the bug is still open. But it is |
| 17 |
possible that it only remains open due to non-KMS video drivers. Now |
| 18 |
that I have your opinion (and I have Radeon too), I'll give it a try. |
