Isn't fixed by my latest version (URL below) ? http://www.penguinppc.org/~benh/radeonfb-041103-2.4.20.diff http://www.penguinppc.org/~benh/radeonfb-041103-2.4.21-pre7.diff Ben. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
