finding a repository with 4.2.1 backported to woody, then upgrading using apt-get. I think It's not a matter of 4.2.1 versus 4.1.0, because according to XFree86 documentation, radeon chips are also supported in 4.1.0. I wonder though, if there is a diffrence between radeon 7500, and radeon 7500 mobility. cheers Aryan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
