Quick info:
With kernel (2.6.5) radeon drivers (DRI/fb): No screens found.
(M 9700 seems not to be supported by Xfree 4.3)
With the drm-trunk packages:
glxinfo shows no DRI, and framrate of glxinfo falls from 440 (vesa) down to
180 frames. Same for tuxracer (both times software mode). :-( Radeon tells
me that gfx adapters ati M 9500 and higher are still not supported.
So I think using an "accelerated driver" is of no use, since it slows down
my system. Vesa drivers work fine, even with multiple monitor support. I
nobody has an idea how to get acc. graphics, I will continue using vesa
drivers.
Ehmm...???
So, I'd check my installed X versions if I were you. BTW, I'm running
sid. And you?
HTH,
