Thanks for responding. I have followed the steps - downloaded the 4.2 binaries and run sh Xinstall.sh and xf86config. xf86config asks a series of questions and at one point lists a database of cards. The ATI Radeon is not in the list even though documentation says it is supported. Is this a different issue than the PCI chip ID mentioned below? Do I need to add ChipID 0x5159 to the Device section of which config file? Or do I need to contact ATI to find out which chip they use? thx

However ATI have a habit of changing the PCI chip IDs; if your chip is one we haven't heard of you may need to add the line ChipId 0x5159 to the Devices section of your config file, to force the driver to treat your chip as a 7000. If you have to do this, please send us the output of lspci, so that we can add support for your chip. -- Dr. Andrew C.
