30 Hi,
31
32 I upgraded xorg-server, xorg-x11 and all the stuff :
33 xf86-input-keyboard, etc... to 7.2.
34 But ati-drivers-8.32.5 doesn't work anymore with ati radeon 9600 graphic
35 card.
36 So I unmerged ati-drivers, merged x11-drm and I use now Open Source
37 radeon driver.
38 It works fine with 3D.

40 Cheers
