I'm trying to get framebuffer loaded for the Radeon X1300/X1550 card
that I have but have had no luck.

Tried loading the following framebuffer drivers:

 * radeonfb
 * atyfb
 * aty128fb

The only framebuffer driver that works is vga16fb.

Other info:

 * Debian Squeeze on an x86 machine.
 * xorg-radeon version 6.11 from experimental
 * xserver-xorg-core 1.5.99.9 from experimental

Thanks for any help.

Amit
