Hi, I can install XFree86 4.3 by binary. But I can only find 'vga' driver to work for my ATI Radeon 9600. I tried both 'vesa' and 'ati' but both with error 'no screen found. no device driver ...' With 'vga' driver, the resolution is formidable '640x480'. Any suggestion for ATI users? With 5.2-current i386 version, I use 'vesa' as XFree86 version and with resolution 1280x1024.
