Re: [suse-xfree86] Bug in sax2 in combination with ATI-drivers - long lasting issue for me - SuSE 9.3

Matthias,
thank you for the commentary - and I highly appreciate the plan to set up a
WIKI page for the ATI driver.
And still: I am willing to contribute whatever I can if only someone will
coordinate things. I do not want SuSE to support anything they explicitly
exclude from support - but I think that such issues need a commentary. So,
put something in the README.SuSE that says: and if you run into this, delete
that, do not test ...
To end this thread: let me know how to help and I am willing to do my best.
Ten lines of comments - like those you denoted in your last answer - would
have saved me plenty of time, many reboots and so on.
What regards 9.3: from a user standpoint this is a quite actual distribution.
I depend on my system to run 24h a day - I do not have 10 of them - so, the
main rule is: do not touch a running system :-). After more than 10 years of
linux I think I know what I am talking about.
This may differ from a developers standpoint, but that's another story.
Take care
Dieter Jurzitza

if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font
with constant spacing like courier! :-)
