Yes of course. I first use 'portsnap update', but the portsnap told me that 
the ports was not created by portsnap and gave me what to do next. So I do it

I use on this computer also "Debian lenny" and everythings works well also 
Xorg. But in xorg.conf on Debian I have "ati" driver not "radeon".
The Xorg have the following version on Debian:

X.Org X Server 1.4.0.90

X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0

I understand.

It is strange why on Debian it works but here not?

Thank you very much Roland.
