ATI drivers

ATI releases drivers for linux, but they are rpm releases only

i found this site which has deb packages for debian type distros

http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.sta...html#overview1

installed the driver package, and source package, its just the kernel module that is tricky, it gives instructions on how to compile it, but it is complicated

http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.sta...les/index.html has precompiled kernel modules, but which version shall I use? im using knoppix 4.02

I installed kanotix and i tried the install-radeon-debian.sh script they recommend on their forums

but then i only got a blank screen when its starting X, no exit or errors just a blank screen

is there any hope? my card is a x700 pro radeon PCI-E[/b]
