The maintainer of those packages (me) ;) > Thorsten: Parenthetically, I did solve my issue, and you may find it of interest. It was a simple fix, though it took a bit of sucking in of my stomach. If you search on my name on this list, you can see the details of the messages I was getting. They had to with a crippled GUI for the ATI driver settings interface indicating FireGL problems, and, I believe, the 3D was not working. I'm not knowledgeable enough to speak completely coherently about it. But, what I did was run /usr/X11R6/bin/fglrxconfig as root. I had read warnings about this being able to cause serious problems, so I was very careful, and figured out how I was going to back out if I didn't get it right (not such a big deal). There are lots of settings in there that are not documented with comments or anything else. I mostly took defaults, and took the screen reso settings from my current xorg.conf file. And it worked. My ATI configuration GUI now displays all settings properly without errors, and 3D performance is dramatically improved. -- Claude Jones Bluemont, VA, USA
