Good luck. I have tried the radeon driver from time to time, but never had any real success with it. Well, it is working now on one machine, but I need TV-Out, and I have temporarily given up on finding out what's wrong there, and stick to old kernel, old X and old ati-drivers that still support this old card. On my main computer, radeon drivers get better and better. That is, X now starts, it even does 3D acceleration now, but it crashes when I move the mouse pointer onto the KDE4 panel. Wonko
