I've had a bunch of problems with Quanta in testing (etch), and have learned that some of them may be solved in later versions. So I'm interested in running Quanta 3.4, or even the soon to be 3.5 in testing, which is currently at KDE 3.3. There were messages about backports recently, but they, an

If you plan to upgrade to x.org be sure to first uninstall fglrx driver (it's for xfree), then install xorg, and last install fglrx driver for xorg. I use packages from http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html A last note: with my mobile radeon 9700 fglrx 8.16.20
