Hi, before going the (hard) downgrade way, did you try using the free "radeon" driver (or whichever is relevant for your card). I "fixed" a computer crippled by the same problem yesterday, running an Ati HD2600XT, and the result is so nice that the owner doesn't want to go back to fglrx ! I just removed the xorg.conf file and rebooted, "fixed". Of course your luck will depend on how well supported your hardware is, but even without "3D" acceleration it would be a workaround, I read that Ati is about to release a new driver, maybe this one will finally catch up with xorg and kernel development (for now...). http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzkzMQ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
