Radeon driver and 200M

[Randolph Chung]

Hello,

I've been trying for many months to switch from fglrx to the opensource
radeon driver. 

The latest fglrx (8.10) driver causes all sorts of system hangs on this
system :( I tried the radeon driver (6.7.197) today and it also seems to
hang this machine quite easily. Granted that the driver already warned
me that:

        Direct rendering for RN50/RC410/RS485/R600 forced on --
        This is NOT officially supported at the hardware level 
        and may cause instability or lockups

Is there any hope at all for this to work? :)

Here's my setup:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200M] [1002:5975] (prog-if 00 [VGA])
        Subsystem: Dell Unknown device [1028:022a]

6.7.197 radeon driver with xorg 1.3.0 and mesa-7.0.1:
- doesn't crash usually (with DRI enabled), but gives me a blank white
  screen if i start compiz

6.7.197 radeon driver with xorg 1.4.99.2 and mesa-7.1.0:
- DRI not enabled - starts up, but very slow (not using compiz,
  obviously)
- DRI enabled - hangs the system solid everytime I start X

X logs are attached. Anything I can do to help test or fix this?
