The operating system is Debian 10.9.0. What I do get the impression of, is that you are doing battle with a frankenstein card, something ati has been quite famous for in my now 20+ year old history, changing the card in the box, making it incompatible with the published drivers for linux, without updateing a single crossed t or dotted i on the box. Plain and simple it was not the card I bought but the next production run. I yelled at ati, and was promised linux drivers for that chipset would be announced in about 2 weeks. Never happened, and I wasted almost $85 running out to buy it in about 1999. At least the $29 nvidia card worked with the vesa driver. But that experience taught me to not believe a thing Alex tells me. YMMV. > The driver seems to be identifying the card okay. I don't know why it > is still generating errors.
