I have been using "ati" in xorg.conf because that is what I have been using for the built in video port or else weird things happen, but I'll try without with this card plugged in and see. If I can't sort it I'll post the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log in a day or two.

AFAIK, "ati" is an unrecognized string at "xorg.conf", as Greg already pointed you. nvidia → for nvidia 3D proprietary drivers fglrx → for ati 3D proprietary drivers nv → for nvidia 2D open drivers radeon → for ati 3D open drivers radeonhd → for ati 3D open drivers > Any ideas on what I need to change? http://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
