I wasn't very lucky with the ati git tree, so far ..

I wasn't clear enough: Actually it seems that everything that is in the randr-1.2 tree is also in the master tree - there seems to be even more in master. You can see this in the ati tree, e.g. with a git-rev-list origin/master --until="Tue Aug 05" --pretty | less resp. with git-rev-list origin/randr-1.2 --until="Tue Aug 05" --pretty | less So I thought why does Alex Deucher recommend the randr-1.2 tree for a compile? I think I found the answer: http://www.nabble.com/radeon-tv-out-tf4221095.html#a12106111 "I've just pushed tv-out support to the radeon randr-1.2 branch." So although in *retrospective* view (seen with the commands above) it seems there is everything from the randr.1-2 branch also in the master tree, there seem to be times when randr-1.2 had contents that were just not yet in master. In other words: there are things between heaven and earth that even such a nifty tool like git will not be able to explain to me, or least not to me... :) Whatever.
