ATI Radeon


I have a ATI Radeon 32MB SDR Video Card. I Installed the DRM Kernel module from ( http://www.xfree86.org/~alanh/ ). Then I installed DRI ( http://dri.sourceforge.net ). Then I Installed Mesa ( http://www.mesa3d.org/ ). I installed all of it properly, but when I run startx I get a black screen with a mouse pointer. It just sits there.

I know it should work because I have done it before.

Thanks in advanced
