If it isn't reproduceable by other people on Radeon 7500, then it most likely is bad video memory, in which case you would replace the video card with a new one. If it is an actual software bug, then it should be reproduceable on all Radeon 7500 hardware, and likely all Radeon hardware period, since the code is shared with all Radeon hardware. If this is the case, I'll most likely start getting bug reports by the dozen. >Any further suggestions as to what to do? You can swap the card with another 7500 and see if the problem goes away. Also get others with Radeon hardware to try and reproduce. If all else fails, then use the supported XFree86 that shipped with shrike - 4.3.0-2. If the problem goes away, then it could be a new driver bug perhaps. -- Mike A.
