With Squeeze things "just worked". First performance was abysmal, dragging a window caused it to redraw it frame by frame. After enabling non-free and installing firmware-linux-nonfree that was fixed too. As I said before fglrx does work too but I wanted to find out why the free drivers aren't working.
Thanks for all the replies so far. I think we can file this away as it's solved in squeeze. Now the remaining question is what I should do till squeeze becomes stable. As long as it's more stable and secure than the other distros that work with my hardware I'm confident. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
