I'm running sid ATM, and I do it the same way. This always worked as expected when I was using the nvidia driver with my nvidia card. Since my nvidia card died I can't switch to a console or my monitor goes off. Right now I'm using the onboard radeon x1200 series video output on this box with "ati" or "radeon" specified in a minimal xorg.conf. I'll be back to nvidia ASAP, but I do hope this can be sorted before squeeze is released. I get bad results with ubuntu as well with the ati output on this box whereas the nvidia card always worked well. > These distro's run on the same AMD64 p.c., on different partitions. > > Greetings, > Martin. > > Alan Ianson schreef: > > On Sat, 2010-08-07 at 08:29 -0500, hugo vanwoerkom wrote: > >> John W Foster wrote: > >>> Just got my new AMD 64 bit system to working well.
