How do you but? I guess you use elilo. When you use elilo, the EFI firmware won't enable the BIOS emulation that is needed by the fglrx driver. You have to use a DOS bootblock and boot with grub or lilo, the EFI firmware will enable the BIOS emulation in this case. To do this, you need to create a DOS style partition table. This is best done with rEFIt and its MBR sync function. Regards, Tino ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
