Lenny is running with the kernel 2.6.26-2-powerpc64 My video card is an ATI Radeon 9600XT 128 MB (DVI monitor) correctly identified by X so that I did not need to edit my xorg.conf The section "Device" has the Option 'UseFBDev" set as "true". Reading the Xorg.0.log it shows that X loads the "radeon" module. regards tiresia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
