I have a QD and an AMD 761, and I got it to work quite well after
applying the following (got this through a bug tracker kind of thing at
either xfree86 or DRI, don't remember which one):
---
You have to comment out the register RADEON_SOFT_RESET_HDP in
/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ati/radeon_accel.c in
and for DRI in
/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel/radeon_cp.c
(with the | before the register)
---
The last bit only applies to Linux.
The statement is a bit confusing in it's meaning, but basically
commenting out the two occurences of said register (including the
preceding '|', of course) is what 'they' mean to say. I have seen more
reports of happy people after doing so.
I heard this was fixed in xfree86 CVS as well (shortly after XFree86
4.1.0 came out), but haven't really felt the need to grab that CVS-tree
so far.
Good luck.
