You'd have to add 'radeon' to your VIDEO_CARDS var in /etc/make.conf, |
| 9 |
and the drivers will be pulled in automatically from the tree when you |
| 10 |
install/update Xorg. |

According to the official DRI site |
| 18 |
(http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon), support for your card is |
| 19 |
still unstable. I've got the X300 (rv350) on my Centrino notebook; |
| 20 |
since it's not supported yet, I haven't even tried to set it up. |
| 21 |
Newer-model ATI cards are stuck with fglrx and XGL. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So I can't answer your questions, but they're probably moot anyway. Apologies! |
