Another confirmation - My EEE 4G pc also now works apparently perfectly with 7.99.9. I still have a problem with a Radeon RV350 - which now never crashes, but once Xorg is started in any usual way (i.e. /etc/rc.d/xdm onestart or startx) gets me only a black screen with the expected processes running; killing them all does not restore the console, which stays black until a reboot. On the other hand if I start only Xorg, I get a black screen with functional mouse cursor, the process can be killed and the console is restored. Go figure...
