Re: ati proprietary linux drivers
my Gcard is an ATI radeon mobility X300
They stopped working with an X upgrade in debian about three months ago.
I've managed to get up to date a few times after then, but they still
seem broke. The latest two updates from ati wont run, except for a
distribution specific method(--buildpkg Debian/unstable). With the way I
used to install it, it locks up the computer. In either case they don't
work anymore for me either. Last time I tried the open source radeon
driver, it didn't work either. Somethings gone wacky in the kernel/X to
make ATI's driver more worthless than they already were.
My Gcard is the ATI redeon express 200M 5955(pcie).
Not that I care for the DRI bit. But it's really annoying having my
laptop in 1024x768 on a 1280x800 LCD.
