Haven't used it yet. I've been working on two projects mainly nonstop.

I hoped to do some fixes before Fedora froze, but I missed the cutoff date. So now it's something that'll get done in rawhide hopefully in Nov, and get into future updates (if we even do updates), and in my own special repository if not. Haven't been many ATI bug reports in bugzilla, so problems might be unique perhaps to certain setups or somesuch. I hope to figure it all out soon though. Just too bad there isn't 36 hours in a day. ;o/ Take care, TTYL -- Mike A. Harris ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris OS Systems Engineer - XFree86 maintainer - Red Hat
