I've the same chip on my laptop, running woody. So, you have several possibilities : - use the vesa framebuffer (worked for me), - use the radeon framebuffer (didn't worked, but I never managed to run the atyfb on any ati card), - use the vesa driver in xfree 4.1 (works fine, but no acceleration), - use the xfree 4.2 cvs (i did it : more than 1 Go of HD, but great acceleration, GL modes, XV and so on ; only few refresh bugs). I suggest not to try the 4th solution if you don't have expericence, time and patience. IMHO, the 3rd one is the simplest. -- __ __________________________________________________ __ |oo| | Sylvain Sauvage, doctorant [IAD & SMA] | |oo| <_)| | GREYC -- CNRS UMR 6072, Université de Caen | <_)| // \\ | | // \\ (_| |_) | http://www.info.unicaen.fr/~sauvage | (_| |_) |_\==/_| |________ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] __________| |_\==/_|
