[ltp] T43p, xf86-video-ati, EXA with FireGL V3200 (rv380)

[Raanan Manor]

Ok. 

I succeeded in attaching gdb and crashing X when EXA is on, BUT when I
do back-trace, gdb tells me there are no dbg symbols. 

xserver-xorg-core-dbg is installed, I don't have ati-dbg as I am
installing from git. 

help ?


Raanan.
