Hi all. I can use both Flavio's and ATI's packages on my Asus M6Ne laptop (lspci shows an "ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]" controller) with Debian sarge and a vanilla 2.6.13.4 kernel. ATI's packages were built with the official installer, passing "--buildpkg Debian/sarge" as the only parameter to the installer. I downloaded ATI's recently released drivers (version 8.18.6) and I followed the same procedure, I can see no useful warning during compile but I only get 1280x1024 resolution, while the only Modes parameter in my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 is "1400x1050".
The real resolution I get is 1280x960, I also tried Thorsten's patch with the same result. The problem seems to be in the EDID information retrieved by the driver: version 8.16.20 seems to be unable to guess EDID information, while 8.18.6 derives EDID information from BIOS and internal tables. It seems that supported VESA Video Modes are 640x480 at 60Hz, 800x600 at 60Hz and 1024x768 at 60Hz, while supported Future Video Modes also shows 1152x864 at 60 and 1280x960 at 60 Is there a way to hack EDID information, or at least to force X not to guess supported video modes? Hope these files can help. bibe
