FWIW Robert, I have an HD2400 Pro card, rv610 chipset.  With kernel 2.6.30.2, 
it hasn't done the wild blanking on me that it did with earlier kernels.  And 
I don't recall if I saw that while running even newer 31-rc1-3 either.  
.31-rc4 won't boot here so I can't say if it works.

glxgears is slow, maybe 275fps, but if I get a clean connection to the src, 
all news videos play well, and kaffiene can watch hidef tv full screen.  I'm 
not a gamer, so that is generally fast enough for me.

And yes, I keep pinging Alex D., who is learning that promises made aren't 
always promises kept as he gets assigned to something else all too often.
