If you mean for Xorg to use atyfb, that's technically correct, but I'm not sure how it's relevant. > I was talking about the missing DRM module as explained in the linked > article on the X.Org wiki. The kernel module is only needed for DRI 3D hardware acceleration, for which the needed Mesa driver isn't available in Debian (or even current upstream Mesa) anyway. > But in any case, using fbdev should always work.

Anyway, I looked at Riccardo's original post again and noticed that his xorg.conf has options disabling all hardware acceleration of xserver-xorg-video-mach64 anyway. In that case there's no benefit in using that vs xserver-xorg-video-fbdev. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Mesa and X developer
