Re: problem with ati driver in kernel 2.4

[Long Wind <longwind2009@gmail.com>]

the ati card is AGP

let me repeat my problem clearly

the card/driver work in etch with kernel 2.6
they work in sarge with kernel 2.4
but they don't work in etch with kernel 2.4
though x server does not change!


below is /etc/X11/xorg.conf
