Everything works fine except that I get hard system locks periodically. I noticed that right before the lockup Xorg grabs 100% of cpu. Reading the mailing list, someone mentioned that 'ati-1-0-branch' has a fix. Can somebody guide me through the process of extracting the branch and building the drop-in module? (or RPM?). I tried to check the branch out myself and build to no avail (following instructions on CVS page[1]): cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/xorg login cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/xorg co -r ati-1-0-branch -P app data doc driver font lib proto util xserver This only gave me the driver: $ cd driver/xf86-video-ati/ $ autogen.sh ... Makefile.am:24: BUILD_LINUXDOC does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 Any advice/guidance would be highly appreciated. -Vlad P.S.
