I don't believe so. It seems that 261977 is a case of a specific nVidia driver being chosen for a device it does not support. However, there is a bit in there about the nv driver claiming a device, and preventing vesa from subsequently doing so itself... that could be related if the analogy to ati holds.

In other news I have the radeon driver *almost* working - by removing the Modes information and disabling only "glx", I get a good image at the proper resolution, but with a bad flicker event about every 10 seconds. xorg.conf attached if you have any suggestions - successful vesa config is exactly that with driver changed to "vesa" and no "AccelMode EXA". I am up and running with Intrepid Beta now via the alternate install CD (text mode).
