Jo,

ATi Mobility Radeon driver is NOT mature and available for Xorg only, as fa=
r
as i know. I currently use a driver compiled from November 1st edition,
using project source files
"http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Drivers:/Video:/radeonhd/op=
enSUSE_10.3"

I think, "http://pkgsrc.se/x11/xf86-video-radeonhd" uses previous version,
but i'm not sure. I've attached compiled driver, if you wish to try. I use
4.99.3X:=20

/usr/pkg/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/*
http://www.nabble.com/file/p13938133/radeonhd_drv.a radeonhd_drv.a=20
http://www.nabble.com/file/p13938133/radeonhd_drv.la radeonhd_drv.la=20
http://www.nabble.com/file/p13938133/radeonhd_drv.so radeonhd_drv.so=20


Alternatively, you may check Ati's proprierity driver too... I used to use
"http://pkgsrc.se/wip/ati-xfree86-bin" which was working well.

Regards,
