radeonhd is intended for chips >= R500
This starts with X1300 and later.
For r300 cards you have to use the xf86-video-ati (aka radeon) driver not the radeonhd.
I know :) I have a r5xx based FireGL V5200, but the driver seems to use the r3xx 3d code.
So, it seems to work with either radeon and radeonhd.
Should I however stick with radeon, or try to make radeonhd work?
Ok, so even if radeonhd did recognize my chip, the radeon folks said I should forget radeonhd and go with radeon. This is a bit confusing since both http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.laptop/browse_thread/thread/c3fb... and http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ATI_Mobility_FireGL_V5200 mention using radeonhd instead of radeon. So, could I get a definite answer? :) Thanks, Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.
