Hmm, on my b180 even if for s/w all seems ok (gdm run and no error 
neither in in XFree86.0.log nor in gdm/:0.log), nothing appears on the 
screen?
Having no other platform to test the card (which I suspect to be 
broken), I just still have an opportunity to test it on my b2k (near 
about c3k iirc) before any conclusion.

Anyway, unfortunaltely, the only other ATI card i could have at my 
disposal is an AGP model (useless for b180 or b2k models). Sorry to not 
being able to help you more.

I think (as far as can understand the patch content) that it is specific 
to this card model.

Well come Max,
