[ltp] Still T42 Radeon fglrx crash & resolution issues?

[Kelvin KAN]

Hi experts,


I am planning to buy a T42 w/  ATI Radeon 9600 @ 1400x1050 LCD.  I heard 
here and elsewhere that ATI's fglrx driver for Radeon had some problems, 
when running OpenGL apps or when DRI enabled:

1.  May crash or hang the X window on resume from suspend or hibernate. 

2.  Cannot utilize the full 1400x1050 resolution of the LCD.

Questions:

1.  Has the latest ATI driver fglrx-4.3.0-3.14.6.i386.rpm of 2004.11.9 
fixed the issues?
       http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/linux/radeon-linux.html

2.  If not yet, any workaround while still maintaining the DRI function?

3.  Any other problems if I am not using suspend/hibernate?

4.  Does the Direct Rendering Project http://dri.sf.net support Radeon 
9600, and more stable than the offical ATI version?


Thanks,
