RE: X in Compaq Presario 900
sorry, I did not really understand - why did you have to bother with the
files and not just upgrade the package?
And so, you say that this radeon (is it really the same one as in presario
900?) works fine with 4.2.1, but not yet 4.1 ? From what I heard so far it
was only going to be supported in 4.3 or something... If that is right, it
is great news then!
