I've read that it might hang if used with DRI. Although I'll be perfectly fine with only 2D functionality in X.org , but it needs to be stable. Since I'm going to use this machine for a university project doing heavy numerical calculations (so only 2D X is good enough), I'm a bit reluctant to use the -CURRENT branch. Is there any way to bring this functionality (making the operating system detect agp) to the -STABLE (or even -RELEASE) branch?
