If you're using sid, you probably using 4.0.x. Try setting it up for unaccelerated video - tell it your using a standard SVGA card, and see if that works. If it doesn't, you may be doing something wrong with your monitor configuration - X can be picky about supported monitor resolutions and whatnot. If it does boot normally with the SVGA driver, then it's just a question of fine tuning your XF86config file - you want to use the r128 driver rather than the ati driver. A decent walkthrough can be found at: http://linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/hardware/ati_rage128.html Good luck, Steve
