6.14.4 driver hanging w/ Radeon HD 7660G GPU

[criego duncan]

X was still alive... in an interruptable read.  I had thought about Mesa 
but didn't realize where i'd have to go to get sufficiently new code.

It's all moot at this point, anyway, as i sent my brand new HP back for 
a refund.  I was fine with working through the Linux problems, but not 
the fact that the laptop itself emanated a slight burning insulation 
odor when it was running.

Anyway, thanks for the help.
