However, when regarding about the open source radeon driver, people tend to agree that the driver has poor power management
and prefer switching to fglrx. I, on the other hand would much co-reside on this driver if I can configure the device, but the xorg config cannot be find due to Debian removing this file on its release of Squeeze. <br><br>I'm just listing the most probable clues here, but like to hear what others would say. <br></div></div></div></body></html>
