I checked using lspci as you suggested and I have the same 00:10.0 and that's what's in the XF86config-4 file also. I finally managed to get the dri-trunk Xserver.. and after lots of googling, got it to a point where now I think there's something that looks simple.. when I startx, it crashes with a signal 11 error stating: RADEON(0): Failed to open framebuffer device ... I checked the log file and the problem is that it can't open /dev/fb1 /dev/fb2 etc: open /dev/fb1: No such device I checked and the files /dev/fb1 /dev/fb2 etc. exist so I guess the device doesn't for some reason.. the files look like this: crw--w---- 1 root video 29, 0 Mar 14 2002 /dev/fb0 What do I need to do to create the devices? I'm sorry I can't post the config file nor the full log.. I can't transfer the stuff from my ibook to my other computer... I hope this information will help with the diagnosis.. I really appreciate the help. Thanks, nirmal
