The ati driver works just fine, except when I quit X, it seems to hang
the kernel; it blanks the screen but then nothing happens.
It doesn't even respond to pressing the powerbutton (which should invoke
the shutdown procedure in recent kernels), and if the command I entered
from X was a shutdown, it does not continue to shut down the system, so
it's not just a bad screen reset.
I observed the same behaviour on the latest xorg from pkgsrc.
(only there the cursor is also shifted, which does not happen on native xorg)
This is on an iBook G4, with a Radeon Mobility 9200.
Cheers,
Peter
