Radeon DRIVER

Or it could be something that is RV6xx specific? There was  another lad 
who posted on the list with an identical issue, but didnt have the same 
card. The radeonhd driver is working flawlessly except when DRI is enabled.

Are you testing under the same version of xorg though? Have you tested 
on an amd64 system with 7-stable or are you testing with current?

[root at desktop /usr/home/alex]# ls -l /var/db/pkg |grep xorg-ser
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Feb 19 11:13 xorg-server-1.5.3_5,1

Could it be an xorg issue?
