If you request any - glxinfo - xdpyinfo xinfo - xorg.conf or any else, please email <email address hidden> for requests.
as I visit bug-list infrequently and I'm occupied with other issues too .

 The information I've given should obviate your needing anything else unless you think so, as all - glxinfo - xdpyinfo - xvinfo my, xorg.conf apear (to me) as normal readings.

The exception si of course the dmesg error pretaining to xorg 7
not configuring memory registers properly, which is what is the
point of this bug report.

I have just recently upgraded my SuSE linux partition to opensuse 10.1 which uses earilier xorg version 6.9 .

Checking to see if my radeon card video capture would ever
 work in xorg, I was astounded by the reality that it does work if
required conditions exist and stay consistant in xorg.
Video Capture works , and works very well with the earilier xorg
6.9 .
 Something has gone very wrong between releases of xorg 6.9, and 7.0 that disturbs the consistancy of functionality through the radeon driver for ati video cards.

This is quite annoying because we would like to trust that critical
operating system components can be depended on between version releases.

I hope that this can be fixed Soon ! and not put to a subordinate bug shelf.
