What do you mean by kernel specification? I'm no expert, but I doubt you have to build a custom kernel. If you don't have a problem with non-free software, have you tried the fglrx driver? $ sudo aptitude install module-assistant $ sudo m-a a-i fglrx You will prompted to install some required package (kernel headers etc.) and if all goes well - it should - the fglrx kernel module will be installed. Now all you have to do is configure Xorg to use it. $ sudo Xorg -configure $ sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Device" ... Identifier "Card0" Driver "fglrx" ... EndSection If the above hasn't installed it, also install the fglrx-glx package. $ sudo aptitude install fglrx-glx Now restart the X server. Anyway that was just off the top of my head, you will getter better instructions from an official source. - -- Regards, Panayiotis Karabassis -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNunWNAAoJEN7RcJcJCZJislwIALcpE0Htz3byOAKezxSvwtHZ JE1D1/01JOXVKp1CsOzTebaiZnwH65fZAOOY6p8yBlnQr97ef8CcCKZoicVHx9f7 6BK3HNoQpeGygQhrB48+bUnQE+DLTjVxqVibGajClzOLIBZX/0hqeqpw6s37MkV1 CJPc1nI18+zsyNbH7tXlqZZO1w7poqRCualm+4TGW8RhqgxJ/Cu6QsqSrPyw1P6k i2dNoWGOSdUdGNduvCz9EoUajQgCHD+8Gg0zxFBO0DO2crCn5PFbopSRhjGLHVmF M6C+hX6OU7H40I8vt9uLOyM+JXIvPeppJCXDhkKDSM1CdD1rb9mwxWrVYvKtIzg= =QEiX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
