i already used the precompiled packages..
i also used alien to make a deb package from the rpm that ati offers..
the system shows these stripes when i switch to console or log out of kde...
and then the whole system crashes..
i found a howto where another configuration of XFree86-4 is described..
i also tested fglrxconfig... the result is the same.. it works but
switching to
console or logging out... it all crashes..
thanks

in order to get 3d acceleration on linux laptop
working i downloaded to newest driver from ati.com.. for xfree 4.3.0...
driver version is 3.11.1
There are packaged drivers, see
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html#prebuilt
the problem is that when i want to switch to console the system hangs
and some stripes are visible...
I have a 9600M and I see the stripes too, sometimes. They are thin and
somewhat moving horizontally. But they go away when I switch to console
or another X display and back.
are there any settings to be made in /etc/X11/XFree86-4?
fglrxconfig will create a XF86Config-4 for you. It worked out of the box
for me.
Good luck, Mario
