Support for the RV300 series is /very/ new and still somewhat |
17 |
experimental. You may get 2D but not 3D support. You are also likely to |
18 |
have better luck with the latest xorg 7.2, which may still be masked, I'm |
19 |
not sure (I loaded it when it was). |

I'm still running a 200 series card (Radeon 9200), and it works well, but |
22 |
your 300 series card support is enough newer that results aren't likely to |
23 |
be the same. |

25 |
I'm on my way to work now, but will send my Radeon driver and xorg-server |
26 |
numbers after work, so you can compare. Or just look and unmask |
27 |
accordingly. Note that the latest xorg-server and drivers need unmasked |
28 |
in parallel, as the ABI changed and you can't run an old/new mix. |
