Sorry, I'm pretty new to linux, I don't know what 'using OFfb rather than aty128fb' means. I tried inputting /proc/fb as root and got '-bash: /proc/fb: permission denied'. I don't know how to fix this. If I comment out the 'UseFBDev' line then I get the exact same error message. If I set the option to false rather than true then I get the attached error message. I also tried using Amit's xorg.conf, but got the same error message. At this point I don't think the problem is related to the xorg.conf file. Thanks, /Bob
