8 From your messages, I assume you've got some ATI card. What exactly
9 is it? As root, can you run... "lspci -v > xyz.txt", and find the
10 section in xyz.txt relating to your video card? If your system doesn't
11 have lspci, "emerge pciutils". It's been my experience with ATI that
12 you may find 2 "cards" listed, so look carefully. Here's what my Dell
13 D530 shows...
