Looking at the description of fglrx-driver, I'm not sure if the FireGL 9000 in my ThinkPad t40p is supported when comparing this:
$ lspci|grep -i fire 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 Lf [FireGL 9000] (rev 02) with this: $ apt-cache show fglrx-driver This version of the ATI driver officially supports: * Radeon X300/X550, X600, X700, X800, X850, X1300, X1600, X1800, X1900 * Radeon 8500, 9000, 9100, 9200, 9500, 9550, 9600, 9700, 9800 * Radeon 9100, 9200 IGP * Radeon Xpress 200, 200M * FireGL V3100, V3200, V5000, V5100, V7100 * FireGL 8700, 8800, X1, X2, X3, Z1, T2 * Mobility Radeon X300, X600, X700, X800, X1300, X1400, X1600, X1800 * Mobility Radeon 9000, 9200, 9550, 9600, 9800 * Mobility Radeon 9000, 9100 IGP Series * Mobility FireGL 9100, T2, V5000 I do not see Radeon R250, or FireGL 9000 in the list. However, in my Xorg.0.log, I see: $ less /var/log/Xorg.0.log (--) Chipset ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 (M9) Lf (AGP) found In this case, Mobility Radeon 9000 *is* in the list. Thoughts? Can't hurt to try, can it? By the way, what is a simple test to see whether 3D acceleration is enabled? -- Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
