Thanks for your help. I Have compiled the kerkel with your config file and it´s ok.

My yaboot file has video=radeonfb.

The file XF86Config-4 is place in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, but the X server fails yet. My xserver-
xfree86 version is 4.2. Have i update to 4.3?

what server contain XFree 4.3 for use apt-get???
