Re: Sid, xorg and fglrx

My thanks for all the comments. I tried the latest ATI driver 8.36.5 but the included check.sh shows the Xserver as 1.3.0 and there is no target for that. In regard to the HP Nx 8420 itself, it is 3 months old, ACPI works on both the 2.6.18 and 2.6.20 kernels in the 686 and AMD64 versions.
