Your hardware is pretty recent, it might be good if you could test the latest upstream git, it could be better. You can either build it manually (look at http://bgoglin.livejournal.com/10936.html and replace intel with ati), or just upgrade your X packages to experimental. Today I found the time to try out your proposal. First of all, you should include a line to alert the reader that the package autoconf needs to be installed. Otherwise the autogen.sh scripts aborts with the message: ./autogen.sh: line 9: autoreconf: command not found Or maybe the apt-get build-dep should have installed that? After installing autoconf I got the following: /usr/local/src/ati/xf86-video-ati# ./autogen.sh autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf configure.ac:38: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_STATIC If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.

Brice This is a recent optiplex 755 from dell. I installed it with etchandahalf. It came with the following versions: xorg1:7.1.0-19 xserver-xorg1:7.1.0-19 xserver-xorg-core 2:1.1.1-21etch5 CTRL-ALT-Fn sort of worked. When returning to the graphical environment the colors were mixed up.
