Hey Stefano,
What instructions did you follow? I'm interested on testing this (HD 4850 here).

Hi,
just if anyone is interested... I compiled mesa 7.9 and tried the radeon gallium driver on a X300 ati card. It works pretty good. For instance, now I can use the blur effect of kwin 4.5, while I couldn't with classic mesa 7.9 driver. I don't play games, so I cannot tell what is different with games...
Maybe we might have an ati-dri package in [testing] that ships r300g instead of r300c...
Stefano
You can use my -gallium AUR packages. I use them on my r500 and it works very well for games and the like.
