Hi Erik,

I'm updating my machine right now, I already tried changing to XAA
(before I left the acceleration option unspecified, I guess EXA is the
default) but my rendering is still black, so I assume that a version of
xorg that is out there now will fix it. I'll post if I am still unable
to get things to work with XAA and feisty as of today.
