Re: ati's fglrx 8.25.18 and sid



Looking at the description of fglrx-driver, I'm not sure if the FireGL
9000 in my ThinkPad t40p is supported when comparing this:

$ lspci|grep -i fire
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc
Radeon R250 Lf [FireGL 9000] (rev 02)

with this:

$ apt-cache show fglrx-driver
This version of the ATI driver officially supports:
* Radeon X300/X550, X600, X700, X800, X850, X1300, X1600, X1800, X1900
* Radeon 8500, 9000, 9100, 9200, 9500, 9550, 9600, 9700, 9800
* Radeon 9100, 9200 IGP
* Radeon Xpress 200, 200M
* FireGL V3100, V3200, V5000, V5100, V7100
* FireGL 8700, 8800, X1, X2, X3, Z1, T2
* Mobility Radeon X300, X600, X700, X800, X1300, X1400, X1600, X1800
* Mobility Radeon 9000, 9200, 9550, 9600, 9800
* Mobility Radeon 9000, 9100 IGP Series
* Mobility FireGL 9100, T2, V5000

I do not see Radeon R250, or FireGL 9000 in the list. However, in my
Xorg.0.log, I see:

$ less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(--) Chipset ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 (M9) Lf (AGP) found

In this case, Mobility Radeon 9000 *is* in the list.

Thoughts? Can't hurt to try, can it? By the way, what is a simple test
to see whether 3D acceleration is enabled?
