No, that doesn't fix it (except if it has been fixed three o four days
ago in CVS), because as i already told in another message, i had a lot
of "idle timeout" messages and redrawing problems with the radeon
driver (with XOrg/ati cvs HEAD), without DRI enabled. What solved the
problem was disabling the radeonfb in the kernel. Currently enabling
radeonfb and using at the same time the radeon Xorg driver with DRI
disabled is not possible.
