Thank you for this very helpful response. This is what hwinfo says: Model: "ATI VGA compatible controller" Vendor: pci 0x1002 "ATI Technologies Inc" Device: pci 0x6759 SubVendor: pci 0x1682 "XFX Pine Group Inc." SubDevice: pci 0x3190 Memory Range: 0xd0000000-0xdfffffff (ro,non-prefetchable) Memory Range: 0xfe7c0000-0xfe7dffff (rw,non-prefetchable) I/O Ports: 0xb000-0xbfff (rw) Memory Range: 0xfe7a0000-0xfe7bffff (ro,non-prefetchable,disabled) IRQ: 16 (412396 events) I/O Ports: 0x3c0-0x3df (rw) Module Alias: "pci:v00001002d00006759sv00001682sd00003190bc03sc00i00" Driver Info #0: Driver Status: radeon is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe radeon" Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #14 (PCI bridge) but since /libdrm-2.4.33/radeonr600_pci_ids.h from wheezy already includes: CHIPSET(0x6759, TURKS_6759, TURKS) it seems like the chipset should be supported in that version. The ones that were added in the commit you referred me to are: +CHIPSET(0x6751, TURKS_6751, TURKS) +CHIPSET(0x675B, TURKS_675B, TURKS) +CHIPSET(0x675D, TURKS_675D, TURKS) |> > PS If there is a way for me to hand-compile a more recent version of |> > libdrm_radeon that might allow the machine to boot without freezing up, I |> > would really appreciate a link or some pointers. |> |> Yes, the following commands should build a libdrm 2.4.39 packages eventually |> intended for debian experimental: Thank you for this help also.
