Might take longer - pullup requests are processed by the
release 
engineering team so it depends on time, other pullup
requests in the 
queue etc.

This is odd - hardware cursor with an RV280 definitely works
here ( my 
iBook has the same graphics chip )

Might have paniced. Please check if this happens without X
running on 
the mini ( so you can see eventual panic messages ).

have fun

So I'll "cvs up" regularly and wait until I see
modifications about
radeonfb and snapper

I've seen such a thing once or twice before...
Unfortunately, I can't
remember if it was on a Dell Optiplex (/i386) with Intel
card, or on a
Ultra 10 with an ATI Rage XL...

Well, as far as I tested it, looked like it only froze the
reboot process
when xdm was started. But as the console don't work nice
(yet), it could
be related.

I'll retest those two bugs when the pull-up will be there.
