Neither M2 nor M3beta3 work "out of the box". Configuration is necessary.
With the live CDs adding xdriver=vesa to the kernel options works.
For the installed versions adding;
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disabled"
EndSection
to /etc/X11/xorg.conf or unchecking the option in XFdrake works.
There is still a command with "drake" in its name.
A configuration necessity isn't really a bug for a released version (M2)
but it is for a not yet released version (M3). Should I open a bug
report about it?
Is there a 96xx driver for M3? If there is I'll test it, but I can't
find it.
