#1 - laptop has ATI, what cli will identify my specific ATIgraphics card?
#2 - once identified, how will I know what driver to download and, where the driver is located?
#3 - how do you check for dependencies, how will I know what what to download and where located?
thanks.

@imart,
1. lspci should give the specifics of your card
2. as root run tazx (make sure you have an Internet connection). This will give you a list of drivers to install including ATI driver
3. tazx will install the driver and configure your x settings.

Can you post the output from
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
This may give some indications as to what's going on.

@imart, from the information you have provided, Xserver is not showing any errors except for Microsoft Nano Transceiver message - not sure what this is but it is unlikely the cause of the problem.
However, you may want to keep an eye on the following thread
http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/x-slow-to-startup-in-slitaz-4
I noticed that what is common to both this thread and yours are following errors.
_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/slitaz:2
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6
Are you by any chance running IPv6? If that is the case, it would be interesting to see what would happen if you were to run IPv4 instead. This may be a long shot but worth a try.

@gdesilva
thanks
Microsoft Nano Transceiver: wireless mouse
thanks for the thread, will review
running vanilla LiveCD; no idea what IPv6 or IPv4 are.
thanks again, lmart

OK, IPv6 is IP version 6 which is the new Internet Protocol addressing standard and IPv4 is the old one which is still being used by most people. Obviously, this has nothing to do with your problem.
Can you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-Device.conf file?

I have the same error "Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices" in a stable 4.0 when I run "tazx" after having used "tazhw setup ati".
After deleting the file /etc/X11/xorg.cond.d/55-DeviceTweaks.conf created by "tazhw setup ati", then "tazx" works again.
Regards,
Datto
ps : sorry for the broken english.

@gdesilva,
out of commission following surgery
will post contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-Device.conf in next few days
@datto,
thanks, will try your suggestion in next few days; your English is fine
