Bug#479881: xserver-xorg-video-ati: xorg 7.3 xserver segfaults when loading the ATI driver for Radeon RV280 (Radeon 9250) card

[TMC]

Brice,

I have altered my config as per the link you emailed me, and with a
bit of fiddling I have it all working again.

I am happy to try and  put the old config in place and run some gdb
traces for you, if you want...

Many thanks for your help.

Tomasz
