A "me too" would be helpful as misery loves company ;-) Well then, "me too" sort of. Mine is the IGP 9100. I make it work by keeping my xf86-video-ati backported to 6.7.192 and forcing it to PCI mode in the xorg.conf. Option "BusType" "PCI" # Force IGP to PCI It loads the "R200 Microcode." I never saw the white screen, but nothing after 6.7.192 has handled restarts well. -- Albert Vest, al vest at earth link dot net
