Hi, Can I suggest something? Bite the bullet, download all nesesary files, and ignore dependecies. Just make sure that you have all the required files first, and back them up before you try. While you are at it, you may as well upgrade your QT, glibc, and any other libaries if they are very far behind. As far as I know, you may need to go to ATI to get drivers for your card, as all the servers in xfree86 are just to plug into xfree86. To get good vidio support, you need a kernel module driver from ATI, it's like that for my Gforce2 anyway. Hope I helped.
