Hi Peter :) I've got an integrated ATI Radeon X1250-based graphics. With Suse 11.0 and Suse 11.1 RC I'm using the radeonhd and with 64 Studio 2.1 default Etch and 64 Studio 2.1 upgraded to Lenny I'm using the vesa driver. I recommend that you should try the VESA too. Once I tried the proprietary with 64 Studio 2.1 and this makes the whole install unusable. Independent of the radeonhd or vesa driver I can't get better vertical refresh than 59.8 Hz, Linux don't support vertical refresh any more, some time ago, I noticed that with my old NVidia too, once I was able to change the refresh and than I, resp. X wasn't able to do it any more. I guess most Linux users tend not to use old monitors, but without a monitor, it's not possible to do professional graphic work. You don't get any audio and MIDI application crashes when producing audio and MIDI songs? What mobo is it? Maybe I should change my mobo again. Fixing hardware incompatibilities seems to be no interest of the Linux community, even if it has nothing to do with evil proprietary stuff. At the moment I try to check out at www.linux-club.de what is possible with the community, it seems to be that "incompetent" users get the wrong hardware and they should use Windows and indeed, I tend to change to Windows for Multimedia production.
Cheers, Ralf
