Ok, so even if radeonhd did recognize my chip, the radeon folks said I should forget radeonhd and go with radeon. This is a bit confusing since both http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.laptop/browse_thread/thread/c3f… and http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ATI_Mobility_FireGL_V5200 mention using radeonhd instead of radeon. So, could I get a definite answer? :) Thanks, Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.
