I don't konw. I have a Sony Vaio notebook, with the same graphic card
that the amd64 system mentioned above: ATI Mobility Radeon 9220. In the
Vaio notebook, which runs the x86 port of etch, the graphic resources
works very well with the xorg ati driver and the radeon module. The
problem is in the amd64 system (but really I don't know if my problem is
indeed due to the graphic driver)...

Even for the debian etch package fglrx-driver? I want to try the debian
package...
http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/fglrx-control
http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/fglrx-driver
anyway, I can look for another solution before trying the fglrx
driver...
