Public bug reported:
Hi,
I have an Ati x700 card which can only be used with the binary fglrx
driver ("ati" won't find any adapters). The feisty herd2 amd64 "desktop"
live CD doesn't find it, so I added universe and multiverse to
sources.list, apt-get installed xorg-driver-fglrx by hand, executed
"aticonfig --initial", and started X.
The screen flickered a few times and then the machine rebooted :-o
The same thing happens with the edgy live cd (I'm running with dapper
now. in i386 mode, and that works, but I'd like more recent packages and
a 64-bit platform).
lspci -v (from dapper)
