Hi from a Radeon user.

My card reports itself as a RadeonQD. it is a 64MB DDR VIVO card.

I'd like to know how one changes the built in Mesa in XF86 for a nice fresh
one?

I tried building and installing Mesa 4 and it went all software rendered on
me.

(and if anyone knows the best drivers for radeon cards and especially how
to use the VIVO stuff, I would be VERY happy to hear from them).

That said, the X4.1 drivers seem moderately quick, and rock solid (20 odd
days).

(just a quick thought - I bought an OEM card - the RadeonQD /is/ the DDR
one, right?)
