i just downloaded ati's driver (it's proprietary ...).
i also have radeonhd  ...i haven't figured out how to set it up

in desperation, i put the (xorg generated) xorg.conf in /etc/X11
(i thought the blank screen when testing it was bad news) anyway,
it seems x does read it- but seems to ignore my request for higher
resolution, & for use of a different driver:

starts up at 1024x768, xrandr doesn't show 1600x1200, lsmod shows
"radeon" loaded....

any thoughts?

thanx again...
