i want to help

[simion ploscariu]

Hi, i have the following problem: my video card is ' ATI Technologies Inc
RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]' and it worked fine with catalyst driver until
ATI stopped supporting this card and i now have to use the xf86-video-ati
driver. The current performance of the open source driver is good for me but
i get hangs at boot time and hangs when trying to resume from sleep. Sleep
is important for a laptop but booting is a top priority, i get a rate of
succes of 2 in 3 tries (i can't sleep to prevent booting) so i have often to
fix my HDD from errors from hard rebooting. I found no fix/work around so
the last solution is to get involved in this, i have c/c++ knowledge but
driver development is hard(i believe it is i never tried it). But maybe i
can help testing patches or running debugging versions of the driver oand
test programs to help the developers.
Hope i can help to fix this bug.
P.S. I will write code if is needed and i can do it.
