Re: what are the missing ports?
I can give you the ATI driver deb package that I created. It works
with the 2.6.11-9-amd68-k8 kernel image found in the apt sources. If
you are using a different kernel, it more than likely will not work
and you will have to create your own drivers. There are some good
instructions on how to do this here:
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html
The generic driver is very weak compared to the official ATI drivers,
though I am still having a few problems with the ATI drivers, such as
vlc and totem having random blue lines in video, I cannot get snes9x
to work properly (not sure if this has to do with the ATI drivers or
just with the snes9x package) and the ATI drivers do some strange
stuff with xinerama displays.
