I sure hope I'm in the right place...

Using a Radeon HD3870 that works fine under Windows (64-bit).  After a supposed
initial success using a pre-release version of KMS drivers (which may be a red
herring), I have been unable to get 3D acceleration on any Ubuntu release from
Lucid, unless I use a non-PAE kernel (I have 4GB RAM).

My Ubuntu bug ticket (including logs) is here:

A similar looking bug with a similar workaround (which I'll shortly try on
mine) on SUSE: http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/wmeLDauZzOL6SFQx1uKY
