Thanks for that, although it doesn't get me the graphical interface.

Secondly, doiing a "startx" after dpkg-configure doesn't detect my card, and if 
it does detect it (as happens under "xf86cfg"), it fails to configure a screen 
for it.

lspci finds an ATI card at 1:0.0, but doing a scanpci says the card is an ATI, 
but goes no further in offering information on the model.

The card works perfectly under M$ Windows 2000.

Any suggestions? Is the card too new? (the model has been out for about 2 years 
now). It is a Radeon 9200 AGP card, with 128 MB RAM.
