I don't konw. I have a Sony Vaio notebook, with the same graphic card that the amd64 system mentioned above: ATI Mobility Radeon 9220. In the Vaio notebook, which runs the x86 port of etch, the graphic resources works very well with the xorg ati driver and the radeon module. The problem is in the amd64 system (but really I don't know if my problem is indeed due to the graphic driver)...

Even for the debian etch package fglrx-driver? I want to try the debian package... http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/fglrx-control http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/fglrx-driver anyway, I can look for another solution before trying the fglrx driver... regards Marcelo -- Marcelo Chiapparini [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
