In http://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary#Supported_Devices the link for Squeeze lists many Mobility Radeon adapters. Unfortunately none are here. root@whiterock:~# lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02) What is a Rage? With nothing further to suggest whether this adapter is supported I resorted to empiricism. The instructions in http://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary lead here. root@whiterock:~# modprobe -r radeon drm root@whiterock:~# aticonfig --initial aticonfig: No supported adapters detected Is this reliable evidence that the proprietary driver won't work for this adapter? If so, is purging packages fglrx-control and fglrx-driver enough to avoid any problems when another driver is tried? Any advice about leaving or removing the linux-headers package? What are the alternatives to ati proprietary? By decreasing preference xserver-xorg-video-ati, xserver-xorg-video-geode, xserver-xorg-video-vesa? Any point in trying xserver-xorg-video-radeon?
