Hello. I already tried the solution of previously posted similar threads, but i didn't find a solution.
Actually i'm using xorg with "ati" generic drivers (they works, but without DRI enabled).
Here i'll give you some info on my system:
i'm running a Debian Sid;
i'm using a custom 2.6.17-5 kernel;
i have an LCD monitor plugged on the DVI port of the graphic adapter;
my graphic adapter is an ATI Radeon 9200SE agp.
But maybe is better if i paste some output obtained from a series of command:

Obviously in this moment Screen0 use as Device "ATI" instead of ATI Graphics Adapter.
Anyway, the result is that when i give startx, i got a black screen and a NO SIGNAL from my LCD monitor. It happen both with an user and root account.
The current drivers are: ati-driver-installer-8.28.8 installed with ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run .
Previous version of proprietary driver worked in the past, but when ATI added support for Xorg 7.0 (the version i'm using), they give me only trouble.
Forgive me for my bad english, but as you can guess it is not my primary language.
Thank you in advance.
