...you should try the openSource driver instead of fglrx.Maybe your card isn't supported with all its features by the fglrx-driver. There are two openSource drivers for ati cards availible: 1. "radeon" and 2. "radeonhd". The first one is for older cards: => R100/R200 (Radeon 7000 – Radeon 9250) and R300/R400/R500 (Radeon 9500 – Radeon X1950) class chips, the second one for all newer chipsets => R500 and newer. I suppose you need the radeonhd driver To determine which chipset is yours run: "lspci -v | grep VGA" In the output you can finds the chipset class of your ati card. Remove the fglrx-driver by running "apt-get purge fglrx". Install the openSource driver by running "apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd" and also "apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon" Additionally you can install the radeontool-package by "apt-get install radeontool" to manage backgroundlight etc. Try this and report. Additionally information about the openSource drivers are availible here: http://www.x.org/wiki/radeon After this you probably have to adjust your "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" (if you have one) in the section "device" The driver must be "Driver" "radeonhd" (radeon). If you don't have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and you need it because something doesn't work as you expected you can "produce" an appropriate xorg.conf file for your card by switching to runlevel 1 and run: "X -configure" After this you'll find an "xorg.conf.new" file under "/root" with all availible options for this card and driver.You can use this file for further editing and finally copying it to "/etc/X11". But first try if your card wasn't automatically configured during Boot-up. Greetings Dirk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-laptop-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
