After a lot of Googling and trying different drivers (without much luck), I now have my X in reasonably working order. I manually inserted the modules DRM and RADEON into the kernel, changed my Xorg.conf driver to “ati” (instead of fglrx) and now I have a 1920×1200 resolution again. Still no hardware acceleration or other bells and whistles, but this will do until I buy a new motherboard (with PCIe), and an Nvidia videocard.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed until the next (kernel)update will fuck things up. At least now I know what *can* be done.
