BTW - EVERY problem I was having when I dealt with this sort of thing |
38 |
a couple of months ago was visible in some sense in the Xorg.0.log |
39 |
files. I would look for errors, figure out what was causing them, |
40 |
mostly being config issues in my case, and then fix them and try |
41 |
again. It really paid to sort of dig into that file and try to look |
42 |
closely at every warning message along with the more obvious error |
43 |
(EE) messages. |
44 |
|
45 |
I also got help on the same ATI list you were pointed out. Very helpful folks. |

Good luck, |
