Fetching alone isn't enough. Yes of course. I first use 'portsnap update', but the portsnap told me that the ports was not created by portsnap and gave me what to do next. So I do it and everythings go on succesfull after that. > You should definitely use the radeon driver for this hardware. I use on this computer also "Debian lenny" and everythings works well also Xorg. But in xorg.conf on Debian I have "ati" driver not "radeon". The Xorg have the following version on Debian: X.Org X Server 1.4.0.90 Release Date: 5 September 2007 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux Debian (xorg-server 2:1.4.1~git20080131-4) Current Operating System: Linux komp1 2.6.24-1-686 #1 SMP Sat Apr 19 00:37:55 UTC 2008 i686 Build Date: 29 April 2008 08:24:00PM > Saved cores are kept in /var/crash by default.
