Great news!!!!
Just after I posted those messages, I tried today's version,
radeon-20010417-i386-Linux.tar.gz thinking that it would fail today
again.... But somehow, it works like a charm! I don't know who fixed
this bug, but anyway good job! BUt I still have problems with it. At
first, after returning to text mode, the text doesn't appear
correctly;ie previous screen appears and only the cursor moves
correctly. But it accepts commands correctly. After entering XWindow
again, it works fine again. Second problem is that AGPMode 2 freezes my
machine. As far as know, Radeon should work AGPMode 2 (though it
doesn't work with 4)...... Anyway, good work!!
Thank you very much!!!!!
