SubjectRe: radeon still broken (was: Linux 2.4.22-pre8)

radeon is still broken. Looks obvious since it was broken for me
since -pre6, and -pre8 didn't change anything apparently... but
I decided to give -pre8 a spin anyway.

To my surprise, the framebuffer didn't go wild as it happened in
earlier occasions - as in here:

http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0307.2/0732.html

However, firing startx resulted in a black screen and a hard hang
(had to keep the poweroff button for 10" to actually power off).

So I tried booting -pre8 again, and this time the framebuffer went
wild again. It looks like there is a timing issue perhaps ?

I'm available for testing and debugging this - so far I'm stuck
with -pre4 which is the latest working.


Thanks in advance for any help/insight.
