ATI 12XX card- which linux???

Hi,

Im somewhat used to linux..especially ubuntu and pclos. Previously I was using a intel based PC and never had any issues. Now I am switching to an AMD based pc and have issues with the display driver. any version of ubuntu gives me a complletely blurry display.

Are there any linux distributions, preferably based on debian, come with native ATI support?

vga_setchipset(3)						Svgalib User Manual						 vga_setchipset(3)

NAME
vga_setchipset - force chipset SYNOPSIS
#include <vga.h> void vga_setchipset(int chipset); DESCRIPTION
Force detection of a chipset (when chipset detection fails). vga_setchipset(VGA) can be useful if the chipset specific stuff or the SVGA detection stuff gives problems. However, at first the automatic detection should work well, and if not a specific chipset can be forced from /etc/vga/libvga.config. Because of that, void vga_setchipset(int chipset) should probably never be used by applications. If used nevertheless, it should be called directly before vga_init(3). As of now the following values are defined for chipset: UNDEFINED This is the default and specifies autodetection. VGA A plain VGA card, not that the SVGA must behave like an ordinary SVGA card then which will probably mean it is in an ordinary (25x80) textmode. ET4000 Tseng ET4000/ET4000W32(i/p) cards. CIRRUS Cirrus Logic GD542x/3x cards. TVGA8900 Trident TVGA 8900C/9000 (and possibly also 8800CS/8900A/B) cards. OAK Oak Technologies OTI-037/67/77/87 cards. EGA An ordinary EGA card. The notes about VGA apply. S3 An S3 base card. ET3000 Tseng ET3000 cards. MACH32 A card (from ATI or not) based on the ATI Mach32 chipset. GVGA6400 A Genoa(?) GVGA6400 card. ARK ARK Logic ARK1000PV/2000PV cards. ATI An ATI SVGA (VGA Wonder and friends) card. This does not (necessarily) include the newer cards (usually called Mach something). ALI An ALI2301 based card. MACH64 A card using the ATI Mach64 chipset. Support is not complete. CHIPS Chips and Technologies chipsets 65525, 65535, 65546, 65548, 65550, and 65554 (usually in laptops). SEE ALSO
