It's just unbelievable.
I've spent weeks configuring X, and it usually crashes, leaving my monitors in a weird state where a reboot is necessary (I fixed that with macros replacing with a "functional" xorg.conf)...
I've used Xinerama (I don't want two different screens which I can't move windows between), but now _finally_ made it work with big desktop. However, the screen sizes are different and now I have dead space to the right which I can't use, and dead space below the smaller of the screens.
How great.
X dies when trying to output to xv.
Some things seems to have been crashing for ages. And what does ATI say?
Known Issues
Loading the XVideo Extension on 64-bit Xorg 6.9+ systems causes the X Server to segfault on launch with Radeon X1K products. Further details and the workaround can be found in topic number 737-22837
Great, so there's a workaround (since the ATI devs are stupid enough to not be able to actually fix the problem). Where's the workaround? Where on earth can I browse these "topic numbers"? I've tried to google for "ATI topic number" etc, but I can't find anything.
Are these topics internal to ATI? If so, why the hell do they tell me that I can find them?
My last computer was using nvidia. Things were really broken, and the driver support was complete crap, and I thought ATI couldn't possible be worse.
Now I know better.
Anyone wanna by a 256mb X1650?
