I'm running Ubuntu 'intrepid' / 8.10, and trying the radeonhd driver version 1.2.1-2build2 that they provide. While that version is indicated to support RV620 / Radeon HD 3450, the PCI ID of this card is not in the supported list
(/usr/share/xserver-xorg/pci/radeonhd.ids) -- the IDs immediately sequentially before and after this one are there, and manually adding the ID doesn't work (though that was a long shot). Manually adding the id to the list doesn't make any sense, since this
Hi, Am Samstag, den 03.01.2009, 23:16 -0500 schrieb Rob Walsh: the reason for this is quite simple, the 1.2.1 driver version is to old: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd/commit/?id=9e81b... The PCI id for your card was added on 2008-10-28, so you need at least driver version 1.2.4 (1.2.3 was created on 2008-10-13). list is just generated on compile time, and changing this file won't change the list inside the compiled driver.
Is there some known issue with this card, or is there something I can do to enable a workaround? (I have searched google (generally), the mailing list archives, and bugzilla to no avail.) Yeah, but you didn't search the commit logs for the driver ;)
As Rafał mentioned you just need to compile the driver from source. Mail me if you don't want/can't to do this do this on your own, my developing box is an ubuntu 8.10, should be pretty easy for me to create a Debian package for you.
