I have been running Paul's patch, but eventually the system froze. I'm not sure if this was an update to xorg or not. reneraccel makes no diff here, I still get hard locks if I set the depth above 16bit. This is a real killer of a bug, and given the amount of these ATi chips out there, I was hoping it wouldn't have taken so long to sort out.
I here rumours of people managing to get 3D acceleration out of their machines under Linux, but I have never seen it, and cannot replicate their success on my machine.
I'm at my wits end with this bug, and it is disappointing that for Ubuntu this is of low priority. Given that the driver worked fine in Breezy (still no 3D), there must be a way to find out what changed?
If I can help with testing on my machine, then great, send me the files. If you want logs, forget it, the system freezes and there is nothing to give.

Cheers,

Adam
