I tried to get the r300 driver working on my system a few weeks ago. |
| 7 |
Unfortunately my PCIe Mobility X600 is not supported yet, so I never |
| 8 |
got anything working. You need a 2.6.15 kernel, modular X.org 7, and |
| 9 |
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
As for the list of cards supported: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
1. Run "lspci" to identify the slot of your adapter: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Tech... |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
2. Run "lspci -n -s <slot>" to get the vendor and card ID: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
carcharias rjf # lspci -n -s 03:00.0 |
| 20 |
03:00.0 0300: 1002:3150 |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
>From the above, the vendor ID is 0x1002, and the card ID is 0x3150. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
3. In the kernel sources, look at drivers/char/drm/drm_pciids.h to see |
| 25 |
if the vendor and card ID appears in the table. If it does, your card |
| 26 |
is "supported", and might actually work. An example line from this |
| 27 |
table is: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
{0x1002, 0x4E47, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CHIP_R300}, \ |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
The first two numbers are the vendor and card IDs. |

For open source, you should use the radeon driver: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Section "Device" |
| 39 |
Identifier "X600" |
| 40 |
Driver "radeon" |
| 41 |
VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" |
| 42 |
BoardName "RV350 [Mobility Radeon X600]" |
| 43 |
