I'm running Sarge. I looked in the XF86Config-4 file and the "ati" driver is
selected. I typed : "insmod radeon", and the response message was :
Using /lib/modules/2.4.26-1-386/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.o
insmod: a module named radeon already exists
When I type glxinfo, the "direct rendering" is No. Here is the full glxinfo
output.
