Okay, so I have gone through and got xorg-server installed and my xorg.conf
works with the standard vesa driver (some success)
I tried casting xf86-video-ati, which cast fine but X tells me No
Devices detected
when using ati in config file :(
So my query is two fold:
1. Is there some trick to getting the driver I have installed working?
2. If I install the new one mentioned below, do we just use the "run"
file (just curious where it will install all the files)
Thanks
Craig
