Display troubles with Mobility Radeon 7500
Hello,
I am a very new user of Linux (I set up it this week-end) and I am
struggling to configure the display of my laptop. Actually, the native
resolution of my screen is 1400x1050, but when I choose it in "resizing
and rotation of the screen" (in KDE 3.3) a lot of strange things occurs
(the cursor of my mouse is shadowed by a black square, the desktop is
continuous -i.e. the right edge of the windows appears on the left edge
of the desktop-, there is a black line on the bottom of the desktop,
etc...).
My video card is an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500, so in "dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xfree86" I chose the ati driver. However, I read that the radeon
driver is often more appropriate but it does not appear in the list of
the available drivers.
Could someone indicate me what to do or to read in order to find the way
to solve my problem?
Thanks a lot
Cheers
François
PS: Debian Sarge 3.1r1, kernel 2.6.8-2-686, XFree86 4.3
