Hi,

I am also using ATI 9250 Series card from ASUS. It is and AGP card. I just did a fresh install of gutsy. To get started with install i used safe vesa mode drivers to install from bootable cd.

Then i installed the latest radeon drivers. but when i try to enable radeon from gnome "screens & Graphics" control panel, i am now left stuck in 800x600 resolution and it automatically reverts to vesa driver.

I am now going to use Emanuele's xorg.conf file device settings and see if i get any luck. Also change the AGP aperature size in bios to 512 which is Currently 256.

Other then that i have nothing installed so maybe i need to be pointed to some tutorial to get dependency packs. After fresh gutsy install no updates installed even when software updates informs there are updates. I manually installed latest radeon drivers from the link given above, its version is 6.7.196. I installed these 2 packages.
