Hi Rich, ATI is normally Ok, but in conjunction with Dell LapTop ???. Mostly labeled "Mobile". I can understand your frustration. Try this: In XFf86Config: a) Driver:"VESA "(Slow but working). b) Driver:"ati" (If you have it, nice working). c) Driver: "r128 (The ATI Rage128 driver). Not sure this help, but may be an "approach". ___________________________________________________________________- >Can someone PLEASE explain to me how I can select the ATI Radeon (any >version would be a good start) in the Xfree86 configuration (xf86config) ? >I've used the xfree86 package (v 4.2.1) that comes with FreeBSE 4.7 and none >of the Radeon chips are listed when I run xf86config.
