X.org 6.9 from backports.org
I got this ATI Radeon 9500 Pro and I thought I'd be all phatty gamer now.
Instead, I'm going through the common process of digging up alternative X
configurations to that in Debian. Reading through the changelog for x.org
6.9/7.0 one would think that DRI support would work on cards with the r300
chipset, as there are plenty of mentions about that chipset. Wrong. It doesn't.
2D support, no problem. 3D accelleration for rocking Cedega with all those
Windows games. No fucking way. So back to square one. Removing the x.org
backport was fairly complicated and involved temporarly breaking the package
manager. Re installing XFree86 wasn't hard at all.
Now I'm just following the instructions from the Debian Wiki and installing
unofficial binary packages built for sarge and XFree 4.3
