Hi All,

I have a serious problem here and may be looking at reinstalling :-( I 
have just upgraded the motherboard, agp card, sound card and memory on 
my Sarge system. I was using a Matrox Mill. G200.  The new card is a 
Sapphire Radeon 9200. I have tried using "dpkg-reconfigure 
xserver-xfree86" several times. The only thing that comes close to 
working is the vga driver. Problem is that the screen image is so big I 
can only see a corner of it and the cursor is huge as well. I have test 
only on this system at this point and no other internet access. Does 
anyone know what program Sarge uses for initial install and setup? 
When i used Red Hat it had a hardware change detector that ran at each 
boot. By the way I can modprobe radeon and the module will load.

Thanks All,
Jim Seymour
