Re: ATI 9700 Driving Me to InsaNitY
I have a PC with an Nforce2 chipset running a Radeon9800 and to get it
working properly, not only did I have to use Stanchina's fglrx debian
packages, I had to compile my chipset's agpgart into the Kernel and
disable any DRI.
Try commenting out DRI in your xorg config.
Good luck.
