http://home.t-online.de/home/hburde/linux.htmlXfree 4.2.0 and Radeon 9000 Pro
The Radeon 9000 Pro card is not suppored with xfree 4.2 but there are two ways to get it working. The vesa driver works with this card but without support for Hardware acceleration, TV in (Video capturing (gatos)) etc. its no fun.
Xfree 4.3 will support the Radeon 9000 Pro so one way is to build Xfree 4.3beta from CVS. The simple, 2nd solution is to fake a
Radeon 8500 which is supported and compatible with the Radeon 9000. The 8500 has a R200 Chip the 9000 Pro a R250 which is faster and has some more features. The XF86Config file 'driver section' has to be modified a bit:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
VendorName "ATI"
Driver "radeon"
VideoRam 65536
ChipID 0x4242
Option "AGPMODE" "4"
EndSection
This chooses the radeon driver and sets the ChipID to the value of the Radeon 8500. Before starting X the agpgart module has to be loaded :
modprobe agpgart agp_try_unsupported=1 // the agp_try argument is optional and sometimes necesary to get the mod loaded !
If X starts - hopefully - glxgears should run 3.x times faster than before and the video0 device should be present (xawtx needs it
to work !). For more Info see the gatos website and look for 'drm'.

ik heb xfree86 versie 4.2, dus als iemand die drivers voor mij heeft om ergens te downloaden??
Kep ook al andere drivers geprobeerd die ergens op tweakers stonden, maar die konden niet geinstaled worden omdat me kernel te nieuw was ofzow.. (lijkt me sterk)

Als het echt niet lukt mag je me mailen, dan kan ik je de drivers wel sturen, ze zijn 4.88mb groot.
