>From what I have found from my own experience with a model close to yours, Radeon 7200. To get it so you get a screen, you need to disable hard acceleration. I have yet to see if it is truely supported for this series. As I had the exact same problem for a while. A easy way so you can disable hardware acceleration, is you need to corrupt the xfree86 config file, and rerun the configuration again. You may also be able to delete it too, but I have not tested that option out. I believe the file you are wanting to modify is in a subfolder of etc. I am not on my linux machine to check for sure, but there should be a xfree86 folder in etc. Easy way to corrupt the file, is modify the color setting to an invalid one.

Those drivers are built each night from cvs. So if you check bugzilla ( http://bugs.xfree86.org/query.cgi ) for your problem, find it, and it's marked RESOLVED, and the problem was with the driver, then it could help. > > > > What kind of card is it and what message are you getting?
