Maybe if ATI asks asus someone will work something out since without sources (which ati has) you can't tell what is going wrong in the driver really. I imagine it is some simple setting they got wrong in the new bios. Or perhaps you have to set a new option different than the default in the new bios.
No, I've took care to set exactly the same options (as long as there are available, but it was at least the case for the AGP stuff).
Maybe I've to try the fglrx drivers before asking ATI. I think it will be the next step.

I cannot remember. I have used a live CD and the card is autodetected. BTW, radeon is not an option when you install xfree86 in Debian, it is ati. I've read somewhere that both are identical, but I've not the same result with both of them.

Linux users might stop recomending Asus, which I know a lot have been, since they have generally been very well built and very well supported.
And they cannot report the problem to the graphic card maker: I've an ASUS too ;-)

It would be a shame if one of the best motherboard vendors end up going down because of that kind of attitude. Does it affect the ati windows drivers I wonder... :) Unfortunately it probably doesn't.
I've no windows to test. Maybe it that would need a try.... just after testing the fglrx.
