01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon
7000/VE] (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: Hightech Information System Ltd.: Unknown device 2902
Flags: bus master, VGA palette snoop, stepping, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency
32, IRQ 12
Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
I/O ports at 9000 [size=256]
Memory at ec020000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: <available only to root>Works fine for me. But it wouldn't work with the ati driver until XFree86 4.3. I do have CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m in my kernel, which is a 2.6 kernel, but I believe it worked in 2.4 as well. This is with the DRI driver, not ATI's binary-only drivers. See that perfect example of when not to use a wiki, dri.sf.net, for more details, especially: http://dri.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/ATIRadeon In short, get XFree86 4.3, make sure CONFIG_DRM_RADEON is in your kernel and that the module is loaded, and you have it configured in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, something like this: Section "Device" Identifier "radeon" VendorName "ATI" Driver "ati" Option "AGPMode" "4" BusID "PCI:01:00:00" EndSection -- .O.
