Video: xorg.conf contains the correct Identifier- ATI ...Radeon Xpress 200M, but the driver is simply "ati". I assume once I 'find' the correct driver, I edit this file with the right name? and path? Problem 2: Because the system 'hangs' during bootup at 'checking battery state', I had to boot in kernel recovery mode - if I remember correctly. Is this problem related to the video driver?
lsmod module list includes: ati_agp, agpgart,atiixp, vesafb among others.
