Thanks for your input Marc. I tried with radeon. Unfortunately it was not that. Nevertherless I could learn something: 1920x1440: git=black screen; 6.9.0-1+lenny2=ok 1280x768: git=flicker; 6.9.0-1+lenny2=flicker flicker means, the screen appear shortly, then turns black, reappear shortly... So I learned that: - even if 6.9.0-1+lenny2 works in 1920x1440 works, git does not work - both does not work in 1280x768 (suprising knowing it should be easier to display) => looks like it is not a problem of dual-dvi vs single-dvi Note that I didn't use checkinstall but: # aptitude build-dep xserver-xorg-video-ati $ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati $ cd xf86-video-ati/ $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr $ make # make install So to be complete I usually do: # aptitude build-dep xserver-xorg-video-ati (delete previous git if existing) $ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati $ cd xf86-video-ati/ $ ./autogen.sh $ make # make install prefix=/usr then restarting X with ctrl-alt-backspace Then to reinstall original radeon (after it failed) # aptitude reinstall xserver-xorg-video-ati # aptitude reinstall xserver-xorg-video-radeon Again thanks for having tried to help me, Franck -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
