Yep: colour:/home/jingai# X -version XFree86 Version 4.0.2 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6400) Release Date: 18 December 2000 And I was specifying "r128" in the Device section before this release, which worked up until now. "ati" works fine though, so it's not a huge deal, but it's obviously a buglet, probably introduced when merging the two drivers. Also, I have one more question regarding this release: I just installed Debian/sid onto a friend's system, who has an ATI RAGE LT PRO PCI card, and specifying "ati" in the Device section hangs his machine hard. Similar to what had happened to me a few releases back. Unfortunately, I can't look at the output from X because his kernel hangs before it can flush the cache to disk. BTW, I am using the latest BK development tree, and he is using Paul's stable (2.2.18). Also, his machine is literally identical to mine aside from the video board (both of us have a UMAX S900), although his video board *did* work in my machine some time back with an older XF4 release (it used to be my card).
