I tried that several tines. I have tried a downloaded XF86 rpm and the one
on the CD. It seems obvious to me that the problem is something missing from
the Card Data base and I have no idea how to get it or fix it.
The message is a dead give e away it seems and the fact that it works for
others. I am almost certain I could fix it if I went out and got an ATI
OLDER video card, but I won't do that.
I should not have to do that. If new great hardware is not supported it is
going to be a tough sell. At lest that is my take on the problem. It is NOT
the xf86 rpm except as it has to do with the card data base (assuming that
may be part of it) so I think it needs to be fixed.
Unfortunately this so called free OS is not so free since after buying the
first version in the retail box they do not want to support you when the
upgrades cone along. I see no reason to buy another package just to get
these two things I need.
IS NOT THAT supposed to be part of the glory of this system?
