Ivan and group. I went ahead and tried resetting the "radeon

Shazaam! What do you know. I was afraid I was going to hose it
all up but nope, it came up just like it was 'sposed to. Ivan,
thank you for your help, so much. I'd gone nuts trying to google
the answer to this mess and you directed me to the correct
procedure.
I've been upgrading wheezy almost every day and it seems like once a
week there is a group of messages that I had never received before
in Lenny stating that I needed more radeon drivers or firmware or
something and I had even hunted to see if I could find them but no
joy there either. So hopefully since I'm not loading the radeon
driver anymore, at least the radeonFB one I am guessing, maybe I
won't get those messages any longer.
Have you got firmware-linux installed and updated your initramfs?
% dpkg --get-selections | grep firmware-linux
firmware-linux install
firmware-linux-free install
firmware-linux-nonfree install
Regards,
Roger
