No joy yet :-( What driver are you using in your XF86Config-4 for the
ATI card? Under dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 the only driver option
for ati is ati and will not load. The vga driver is the one I can
sometimes get to run with a screen that I can only see a part of and a
huge cursor. I can modprobe and load radeon however it doesn't change
anything. What does Sarge use to probe and setup hardware during
install? Discover has not helped me any here (could be doing something
wrong).
Thanks,
