Does the laptop have Fn keys for changing the display brightness and turning the external output on/off? Do they make any difference for the blank screen? You could try "modprobe -v radeonfb". (As far as I can tell, this module does not support your card, so this is a rather long shot.) Did you ever try using the "radeonhd" driver for xorg? Other than that, some of the more general suggestions that I just posted in response to Ed's last mail might be worth trying (e.g. vesa driver, newer kernel from backports). -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
