Thanks! The updates-testing packages work fine on my Radeon 9550 (R300) Mesa DRI R300 (RV350 4153) 20090101 TCL DRI2. Tested with neverball/neverputt/openarena. However, a friend of mine is reporting an instant crash (no ssh, no ping) on a X700 (RV410 5E4D) when launching neverball. Will update as I get more information.
