If I get this right, inspiron 4000 uses ATI rage? You might want to load the drivers in your xorg.conf -> http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html and select the right driver, download, ./configure && make && make install. $ modinfo r128 filename: license: GPL and additional rights description: ATI Rage 128 author: Gareth Hughes, VA Linux Systems Inc. srcversion: 37A13138292D5104B180C93 depends: drm Or, install xserver-xorg-video-ati package (I am assumming it should be installed via xserver-xorg-video-all package)- * could be the driver for your card. $ dpkg -L xserver-xorg-video-ati .... /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ati_drv.so * /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/mach64_drv.so * /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/r128_drv.so * /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so * /usr/lib/xorg/modules/multimedia /usr/lib/xorg/modules/multimedia/theatre200_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/multimedia/theatre_detect_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/multimedia/theatre_drv.so /usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg-video-ati/script $ aptitude show xserver-xorg-video-ati Description: X.Org X server -- ATI display driver This driver for the X.Org X server (see xserver-xorg for a further description) provides support for the ATI Mach, Rage, Radeon, and FireGL series. It provides the 'atimisc', 'r128' and 'radeon' sub-drivers. . Note that this is not the same as the ATI-provided, binary-only, 'fglrx' driver, which provides additional 3D functionality for some newer Radeon cards, but is not supported. . This driver provides support for Mach, Rage, Rage128, Radeon, and most FireGL series ATI cards. Try that and see how it goes. Do not try using fglrx (won't work for older series).
