A bit OT, but I've noticed some weirdness with my Radeon 7000 with any distro 
using XF86 4.3.0 (Slack 9, Mandrake 9.1 tested)

It runs fine, but I get 'static' trailing windows, especially when moving a 
window

I'm ready to dig out my 16M G400 card and try that, except I like a virtual 
desktop roughly the size of Canada, and the G400 ran out of memory
