If you wanna roll with a different driver. My recommend is roll with vesa. You are already running with OpenChrome driver though. Google is your friend for forcing use of vesa vs Open Chrome if you wish. I roll with Vesa on my P3 IBM T23 because Savage graphics driver does not play well with newer Xorg installs than 1.10.  You will notice yours is

Code:

Display Server: X.Org 1.18.4

[quote]Problem: Video card not supported by driver

Determine the PCI ID of the chip:

lspci -nn | grep VGA

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RV535 [Radeon X1650 Series] [1002:71c7] (rev 9e)

Here, the PCI ID is 1002:71c7.

Now look in the PCI ID registry to see which driver is used. (Drop the colon ':' when doing this.)

grep -i 100271c7 /usr/share/xserver-xorg/pci/*.ids

/usr/share/xserver-xorg/pci/radeon.ids:100271C7

This indicates that X would pick the -radeon driver for me. If you did not get output, then your chip is not currently supported by any driver. There could be several reasons:

1. If you have newer hardware (such as if you're an OEM and testing hardware that is not yet released) then it may simply be the case that support for your chip has not been added to the driver, or was added only recently and is not available in the released driver.

You can try appending your pci id to the /usr/share/xserver-xorg/pci/*.ids file. This will tell X to load the driver anyway. *Sometimes* this works; more often it does not.

You can also try a newer version of the video driver by installing from upstream git. See Freedesktop Git Usage for directions on using git.

2. On the other hand, if you have older hardware, then if your hardware used to work with a non-vesa driver in the past, possibly support for your hardware has been dropped from the video driver. Check that driver's mailing list for more information.

3. If you have unusual hardware, such as a video card from a minor vendor, then a third possibility is that it needs a driver not available in the standard distribution (or perhaps not available at all). In this case, you'll need to locate and install the necessary driver. [/code]

I am not a real active member on this forum. I have other commits on other distro's that are Debian based.
Just giving you a idea on what you are dealing with.
