hello all hope your doing well, i have ubuntu 6.10 installed on my dektop (finally got it working) and im having problems getting my video card working ie direct rendering 3d etc, i managed to get it working once but when i restarted my xserver messed up and wouldnt boot into either gdm or kde and it seems as if the sti drivers are messing breaking the xserver to where i have to use vesa or mesa in order to get it to boot, i have already posted this problem on the ubuntu forums but its slow go as theres so many posts on there that mine gets pushed back so im trying other linux forums, also here the readout from the lspci command, the video card is a ATI Radeon X1600 PCI-E 512mb video card

lspci just informs us that you have a Radeon x1600 family videocard- hardly adequate to pass any useful tip.
Any other information available?

Perhaps it related to this, though it's for 7.04

No offence but I really couldn't follow what you were telling that poor guy. Clear descriptions of what is wrong and what you've done help enormously when trying to solve a problem remotely smile.gif
