I installed the drivers for a Radeon 9000 on my laptop an Acer Aspire 1600. I got the information from this site http://1601lc.tuxfamily.org/english.html
Here is how I did it. Woody comes with Xfree86 version 4.1.x so i downloaded fglrx-glc22-4.1.0-3.2.5.i586.rpm from the ati site. # alien -d fglrx-glc22-4.2.0-2.9.13.i586.rpm # dpkg -i --force-overwrite fglrx-glc22_4.2.0-3.9_i386.deb Backup your current XF86Config-4 file just to be on the safe side. Then run the config command: # fglrxconfig Answer the questions and a new XF86Config-4 file is generated. Start Xwindows and it will work fine. If you need a copy of my XF86Config-4, I'll send it to you.

Newbie as I am, I found alien to use rpms. But an apt-get install alien gets me Package alien has no available version, but exists in the database. This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list A google search only delivered 2 portuguese (!!??) pages.
