This card has the RS690 chipset, shares the main system RAM, and was fully functional under the old catalyst drivers. Under radeonhd the display is perfect, the panel and VGA outputs are correctly recognized. However, the card is not explicitly recognized by the radeonhd driver and has no 3D support, even though the wiki says the RS690 should be supported for 3D.
I spend about ten minutes attempting to add an entry to the hardware table, but my attempts resulted in a blank screen and hard lockup, though they did result in X -probe correctly recognizing the card.
Matthias, This is the exact problem I am having on my Toshiba 205d (RS690M): [19:18 alchemy:/mnt] # uname -a Linux alchemy 2.6.30-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jul 31 07:30:28 CEST 2009 x86_64 AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux With the build of the new driver, X tries to start and locks up with a black screen.
