Not really.  I've been limping along with the same xorg-xll rpms on my 
x86_64 at work for the last six months.  So I  had some expectation that 
it would work for me.  I'm not proposing it for anyone else.

I know, but ltsp client systems are cheap :)   I was just trying to get 
something working so that I could get back to the first problem.

There are 177 open bugs against xorg-x11-drv-ati.    I'm adding another 
one,  but perhaps you could put a plug around the office for some work 
reprioritization to get them fixed?

Good, OK, I'll watch for an update.
