What version of the radeon is it? That is really wierd because my radeon is rock solid. X never crashes unless I severly abuse it, and even then a simple ctrl-alt-backspace will bring it back. Maybe you just had a buggy version of X(meaning the debian package of it). I would try it again because now X is quite stable because of the closeness of the freeze. Its up to you, but I love my radeon and have never had a problem with it. Well acctually that is not true. I am not using the frame buffer in the kernel because X wouldnt start with it. I just let X use the radeon directly. Maybe that was your problem. Well Im not sure but I was also looking at the X documentation on my system. It is all for 3.3. Is this a bug. Out of date documentation is bad and I am really considering about filing a bug against xfree86-common. Anyone know what severety it should be or even if I should file it?
