Greetings! As some of you following this list know, I have been trying to get my "ATI Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500]" board working with XFree86-4.1 under stable. After much help and emails, it appears that that controller/chip isn't supported under v4.1. :-( So, since I think the board is a dec

Well, I finally had time to try some of the suggestions. Summary: still can't get it to work! To try and provide even more info, I've attached four files below: output of 'lspci', contents of /proc/pci, XF86Config-4, and XFree86.0.log. I also tried changing the "driver" in the "device" section t
