For me it seemed that simply copying over the old libGL.so.1 did not work. I had to make my own set of .deb's from the original ati-driver-installer-8.27.10-x86_64.run according to debian/README.hacking from the Debian packages and then it worked. Probably the kernel module had to be older, too. But now it runs with hardware acceleration and I can plan my next holydays, hurray :) bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
