: Still reeling from ATI shooting the middle finger at its customer base with R500 and earlier cards. I unfortunately have probably 1/2 dozen or so of the higher end cards 850XT, 850XT-PE, and a number of not so powerful 9600s, and an X1200.
radeonhd is just DDX driver, which means it's mostly responsible for mode setting, EXA acceletarion, Xv, suspending, VT switching. As radeonhd doesn't support chipsets R1xx-R4xx, you can use it only with your X1200 (RS690). For rest of the cards you should use "radeon" (xf86-video-ati).
From radeonhd side you should have already working all the things I mentioned (MS, EXA, Xv...). If something is not working for you, please report a bug.
As owner of RS690 you should have more-or-less working 3D. There is however project of reworking whole 3D for radeon cards (radeon-rewrite). One of it's participant (Jerome) requested for testing that code especially on X1200/X1250: http://jglisse.livejournal.com/1822.html . It would be nice to help him with that.
Thank you Rafal for letting me know about the rewrite effort. I'll check there. At least the radeonhd is working well with the 1200 card even if redraws are a bit slow with compiz. Thanks again.
Just one more idea. Does your RS690 (X1200) have audio engine? If so and if you have access to some HDMI TV, you can try not-yet-applied patch: http://lists.opensuse.org/radeonhd/2009-04/msg00265.html which should let you transmit audio in HDMI cable. -- Rafał Miłecki -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
