    Hello all,

    I've recently installed Xfree86 from the testing branch. I have an ATI
    Radeon 9200se card which I have been unable to get working.

    I've tried with the manufacturer's fglrx driver, and I've also tried
    with xserver-xfree86 using radeon, ati, vga16, and the vesa drivers.

    These all have the same result. X will start. But as soon as I click
    just about any keyboard key (including non-printing keys), my monitor
    goes completely black, my monitor clicks as if changing profiles, and
    then the screen is refreshed. If a printable key was hit, the
    corresponding character is not printed. Some keys like Shift do not
    cause this to happen.

    I have my monitor's book, so I know the vertical and horizontal sync
    ranges I've given are accurate.

    I've google'd around, and tried 6 or 7 solutions that worked for other
    people, but they do not work for me. The video card was in a Debian
    machine previously running in testing also (with KDE and xfree86), and
    it had worked just fine.

    I check my xf86 log to find nothing terribly out of place. No mention
    of errors, a few warnings just telling me various options of the ATI
    card are disabled, nothing that looks like it should cause harm though.

    Any thoughts?

    Adrian Parker
