When enabling DRI in config file, I see the XDM login box and the box crashes and freezes immediately. Without DRI radeonhd-devel is horrible slow when moving windows around - inacceptable. It doesn't matter whether EXA is enabled or not and the phenomenon ist the same as with the regular radeonhd-driver from xorg-drivers. I'm back with the VESA driver.
