I figured that out, but installing it had no effect. And if it's required WHY AM I SUPPOSED TO FIGURE THAT OUT? Why isn't it a dependency for the fglrx or radeon packages? Or at least pop up a message telling me it might be needed? > Magic is scarce in these days and your linux box needs a bit of user > action to be properly setup, mainly when it comes to configure VGA > cards :-) That's the wrong attitude, in my totally non-humble opinion. Look at BlueTooth. Here's what I had to do to get BlueTooth working on my netbook: 1)Plug in the adapter. That's it. Everything else happened spontaneously. It even volunteered to set up my cell phone as a modem. I know video card makers don't make things simple, but that should be the target for all Debian hardware support. -- Carl Fink nitpick...@nitpicking.com Read my blog at blog.nitpicking.com. Reviews!
