Please attach your /etc/X11/XF86Config file as well as your

other XF86Config files you may have lying around in /root or /etc.
Instead of ``ati'', try using the ``ativga'' chipset driver. This
driver has all accelerated features disabled. Also, try reading the
``README.ati'' file living in the ~programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc
directory of the XFree86 4.1.0 distribution.
For example:
===
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Sony PCG-FX210"
HorizSync xx.x-xx.x
VertRefresh yy.y-yyy.y
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Mobility-1 VGA"
Driver "ativga"
EndSection
...
Section "Screen1"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "ATI Mobility-1 VGA"
Monitor "Sony PCG-FX210"
DefaultDepth 8
...
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubSection
...
EndSection
===
Personally, I have my driver configured as:
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Mobility-1"
Driver "ati"
VideoRam 8192
Option "AGPMode" "2"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
I use a colour-depth of 16-bit @ 1400x1050. Works beautifully.
Regards,
Trent.
