But that statement is a bit generic and "unfair" :-) KMS and your card may work perfectly with another distribution (or another kernel or another xorg version or...). I mean, maybe you should comment the concrete distribution your are running and also which kernel and xorg version so your readers don't get a wrong impression of the current status for the mentioned items. P.S. Nice color selection for your blog! Very pleasant, clean and readable. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
