Indeed, sounds very similar, thanks.
Funny thing is, I tried to reconfigure xserver-xorg to use the fbdev
driver, but it seems to have left the "Driver: ati" in xorg.conf. It
doesn't seem to take -- that is, xorg.conf doesn't reflect the changes
I'm making in dpkg-reconfigure. How do I force it to use the fbdev
driver?
Thanks again,
