Sorry Marcelo, dain bramage on my part.  I meant 2.4.22-pre.  I think it 
was -pre3 that upgraded drivers/video/radeonfb.c from version 0.1.4 to 
version 0.1.8-ben

I guess the newer 0.1.8 is needed to support Radeon 9600's.  I'm curious 
as to whether other people have the same massive screen corruption 
problems returning from X as I do.  If not, probably best to keep the 
new driver.  (Maybe I should go out and buy myself a new Radeon. :-)  I 
have been using ATI's private DRI/DRM kernel module driver (fglrx) in 
concert with XFree 4.2.0 for quite some time.
