Build the fbdev in the kernel, not as a module, there are a number of issues with fbdev's as module, especially on Macs where offb (the default 8 bits framebuffer) will take over, preventing you from loading the specific ATI driver on top of it anyway. Then, use X "ati" driver with Option "UseFBDev" "true" in the "Device" section. Ben. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
