I am still new here and not sure what your problem is but I went through something similar today .... so take this for what it's worth: First run "cat /proc/pci" and find out the info about the card. Run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" There will be a section to enter in the bus info of the card such as: PCI:0:9:0 where PCI is the bus type (or AGP), the second is the bus number, the third is the device, the fourth is the function (I think). I just did this as I added a second video card to a server. The first video card is an onboard card and its only 4MB. By running the dpkg-reconfigure command I was able to tell X to only use the nice new 32MB Radeon 7000 card. Pretty slick this thing they call Debian. :-) ps...I think you need to include the radeon module....not the ati one. (I thought they were all in one....but I saw both so try that) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
