Please post a dmesg.

Then we can tell you whether the help Edwin tried to give you (with the config 
file) or the help I tried to give you (advising that a Radeon M6 requires 
XFree86-4.1.99 from www.XFree86.org's CVS server later than Nov) is the 
appropriate path to follow.


FYI, the chipid is the model of the graphics chipset, and this can be seen 
from either 'dmesg' output or a 'scanpci'.

The Radeon M6 is aka the LY.

Therefore, an LY is 0x4c59, and this *requires* support from XFree86.org. Or 
wait until next year when XFree86 4.2 is released.

An ATI Rage 128 Mobility M1 is an LM, and this (and many others Rage/Radeon 
cards) will work with XFree86-4.1 from 'ports'.

The M6/LY card will not. It might, if you force the chipset recognition code, 
but there are still potentially LCD panel detection issues with pre-December 
XFree86 code.

Cheers,
