This is written very nice - obviously I was somewhat too little precise.

As I posted in the log, radeon-20020318 is working pretty nice. The window
content is a little bit dark but the driver appears to be quite stable for
my purposes.

I've installed the update that is announced on the following page.

http://www.suse.com/en/support/download/xfree86/

I am using libGL from this update package:

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/XFree86-4.2.0-SuSE/suse73/DRI/xf86_glx-4.2.0-64.i386.rpm

Yep, this does _not_ occur as long as I start the X server via an
appropriate entry in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers file.

I am pretty shure I do, otherwise I would see the following message:

Radeon DRI driver:
        Compatibility mode for DRM driver version 1.1.1
[...]


.... cos' I have some minimal debugging enabled - don't know anymore how I
did  ;-)  The radeon.o kernel module was compiled from the sources you
provide together with the binary Radeon XFree86 drivers.
Unfortunately - as you notice in the Makefile.linux - the sources are for
2.4.x kernels only ....  ;-)

Ooooh, if you're willing, I try to support you in tracking this down as good
as I can. Please notice that I'm some sort of system administrator and not a
programmer, so my knowledge on this topic might be limited and I might have
to be taught how to run appropriate tests,

Martin.
