I've been through the XFree86 mail archive with no luck. I found the PCI problem, but now it seem the config file is strangely formated by fglrxconfig. Are you saying that the problem is with the X sysem?
Can you give me a better reference to search on? Better still, just bundle up the posts (if you still have them) and send them to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm reluctant to try recompiling X from CVS unless I have to. Absolutely have to. I'm not sure how that process works and one learning curve is enough right now... ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Gallafent" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 5:38 PM Subject: Re: [XFree86] ATI Radion 9000 RH 8.0 Configuration Error > On Tue, 25 Feb 2003, William G.
