OK, so it was the change_page_attr() stuff as expected. Thanks.

Ah, I think you will find Michael Daenzer's dri-trunk packages useful:

Me too, but I prefer working drivers even more. ;)
Last time I tried, the open source driver were very lacking. I don't 
spend that much time playing games (and the ones I like aren't available 
for Linux anyway) but it feel better when you know your OpenGL is 
working well.

I tried a few days ago but X wouldn't display anything on either output. 
I suspect the removal of proprietary firmware from the latest Debian 
XFree86 source breaks the Radeon driver. I wasn't in the mood of doing 
more tests that day, but it's on my to-do list.

I tried. When I click "submit", I get a SQL error from the server. :-D

I should try again, maybe they fixed that...
