Re: ati radeon 9700M and X

[Tim Taubert <ttmails@gmx.de>]

i  already used the precompiled packages..
i also used alien to make a deb package from the rpm that ati offers..

the system shows these stripes when i switch to console or log out of kde...
and then the whole system crashes..

i found a howto where another configuration of XFree86-4 is described..
i also tested fglrxconfig... the result is the same.. it works but 
switching to
console or logging out... it all crashes..

thanks
