Mh, I think I should have included here that the video card is an ATi Radeon Mobility M6, and the native resolution of the panel is 1400x1050 (reported as Samsung LTN150P1-L02). The problem: there's no way that I can get a decent graphics resolution like I was used to. The only one xorg.conf setting that resulted in stable graphics was 'Driver vga' and 'Mode 640x480'. Try the new radeonhd driver. If that doesn't work, post the relevant portion of your Xorg.log file and/or dmesg. Don't think that'll do, as -from what I've come to understand so far- this development is geared towards the modern, more hi-end cards. I can see that, no complaints. I'll try the vesa driver first before diving into your proposal; thx anyway. -- Greetings, biped!

Have to install KDE yet (but might move to 8-current in the meantime, as this is a trial-and-error laptop installation anyway). Thx for your help! -- Greetings, biped!

Re: Xorg ATi/Radeon drivers on 7.0-STABLE?
If you haven't done that yet, try recompiling xorg-server without HAL (make config and check it off). I don't know why, but strange things like these happened to me too until HAL support was disabled.
