Hi Bryce,
do your fixes run on Hardy, and support the ATI Radeon 8500DV ALl-in-Wonder?

Anyway, I'm running an ATI Radeon 8500DV as well on an older system (AMD2200+), 1 in 4 times the X-server boots in the standard config. When I add
 Option "BusType" "PCI"
it boots always, but graphics hogs the CPU, all runs very very slow.
If I disable either
        Disable "glx"
or
        Disable "dri"
or both, it always boots, is quick, but I lose all nice compiz features. I read a tweak on the web, to add
 Section "DRI"
  Mode 0666
 EndSection
and have both glx and dri enabled/loaded, it works, the X-server always boots, all nice Compiz features work, but all is very very slow, CPU is high for any window move, etc. More or less a similar result as when specifying the BusType.
I tried changing the DRI mode number, but have no clue what to, so no result.

Question: is there an overview of DRI mode values, which may improve this?
