Thanks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_ATI_Graphics_Processing_Units
shows that the last Rage was launched in 1999 and the first Radeon was launched in
2001. Oddly, several Radeons had code names such as Rage 6/R100. R600 Pro and
RV600 weren't launched until 2007. So the statement in
http://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary , "support of chipsets prior to the r600 has been
dropped" is consistent with my observation that the proprietary driver fails.

As I understand, ati non-free is a red herring for this hardware.

No. I made it with "Xorg -configure". It's appended below.

I'm overwhelmed with information and options which I
understand poorly. From the photographs linked above,
does anyone recognize a possible cause of the problem and
have a specific adjustment to suggest?
The xorg.conf from "Xorg -configure" follows.
Thanks for any further help, ... Peter E.
