Thanks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_ATI_Graphics_Processing_Units shows that the last Rage was launched in 1999 and the first Radeon was launched in 2001. Oddly, several Radeons had code names such as Rage 6/R100. R600 Pro and RV600 weren't launched until 2007. So the statement in http://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary , "support of chipsets prior to the r600 has been dropped" is consistent with my observation that the proprietary driver fails. * From: deloptes <delop...@yahoo.com> * Date: Fri, 02 Dec 2011 01:25:16 +0100 > ... installing the ati non-free.

From the photographs linked above, does anyone recognize a possible cause of the problem and have a specific adjustment to suggest? The xorg.conf from "Xorg -configure" follows.
