6.1 is no longer supported but the 975/9750 works fine if after install you
edit /etc/X11/XF86Config and in the Device section put

    Option "noaccel"

You might need

     Option "sw_cursor"

as well.

Once you have 6.1 running nicely, you had best go to one of the securrity
update sites and get the kernel we issued in April and install it.  It is a
very very solid kernel.
