Sorry for the delay! js Related to the current problem, it would have been nice to have js heard whether or not the suggestion of commenting out the PCI ID js option had a positive effect. I tried removing the BusID option as you suggested, but that changed nothing. I'm going to try a

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 to

I have a 7500 and I don't beleive X 4.1 supports it. To get round this either download 4.2 from the XFREE site and install on top of Woody (worked for me) or install Sarge (also worked for me). Or someone may have backported 4.2 to Woody anyway. I load the radeonfb module and use UseFBDev

'Afraid I can't remember the details, it was some time ago. I think there are various versions of the Radeon chip and the 7500 was new when 4.1 came out. I found a reference to problems with 4.1 so tried 4.2 and all my problems went away so I assumed that version was needed for the 7500.

This asside, there's a not so elegant way to steer around this problem. Using the commercial ati drivers, available at www.ati.com. From my experience, I would suggest to use them as a last resort, the discussion on /. seemed to indicate, this new version suffers from some ugly bugs, but You
