Hey Mark: I got it to work on my 3400. I'm on snv_78. Pretty straight forward. I downloaded the radeon 3D driver from http://opensolaris.org/os/project/dri/files/
I had to copy the /etc/X11/.xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then add Option "BusType" "PCI" Then I rebooted and installed compiz with the --with-experimental-ati- support option. It feels pretty zappy even with the 1GB mem I have on the system. Let me know if need more info -Angelo On Jan 25, 2008, at 3:06 PM, Mark R.

I can "modload -p misc/drm" OK, but "modload > -p drv/radeon" fails with "can't load module: No such device or > address". Which is odd, because it shows in prtconf -v as: > > value='pci1002,4e50.1025.57.0' + > 'pci1002,4e50.1025.57' + 'pci1025,57' + 'pci1002,4e50.0' + > 'pci1002,4e50' + 'pciclass,030000' + 'pciclass,0300' > > and: > > 9 ]grep 4e50 driver* > driver_aliases:radeon "pci1002,4e50" > > So it should work, no?
