It didn't mention my exact hardware, but said: AMD Radeon HD 8000 Sea Islands Not supported My xorg.conf shows: Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False", ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "ShadowFB" # [<bool>] #Option "DefaultRefresh" # [<bool>] #Option "ModeSetClearScreen" # [<bool>] Identifier "Card0" Driver "vesa" VendorName "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]" BoardName "Kabini [Radeon HD 8280 / R3 Series]" BusID "PCI:0:1:0" EndSection So I guess I am hosed. However .... I thought the VESA driver would at least provide basic (albeit brutally slow/choppy/etc) functionality, wrong there as well ? Thanks & TIA & have a good one :-). -- William A.
