However, yesterday I updated everything in debian, and X11 has lots of issues. All "text" has small glitches. The mouse cursor is green! and several applications have green text instead of black (e.g. gvim) and things like GNUstep show green windows on load, then "populate" and become correct but green.. I can try to make sreenshots. If Adrian can help here.... my xorg.conf looks like this: Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" # Driver "fbdev" Driver "ati" Option "ForcePCIMode" "True" Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" # Option "EXANoComposite" "True" # Option "NoAccel" "True" Option "ShadowFB" "True" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" HorizSync 58-62 VertRefresh 75-117 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" DefaultDepth 16 EndSection As you see I already disabled some things to get it work last time and forced 16bit. If I disable composite (EXANoComposite) things improve a little, e.g. there are no glitches, the cursor is black again. If I set 24 bit, no accel, everything works (but slow! yay! I remember there is no acceleration with 24 bit anyway on these mobile ATI GPUs. Riccardo
