I just need TV-out support - apparently the ati driver cant enable it. You need the official ATI driver for it - but some report that the old Radeon cards are not supported anymore? And the old driver wont work with xorg 7.2?
What to do? Hans
Do what ATI wants you to do and shell out some money to buy a newer ATI, that is supported?
Actually, having used a 9200 with no support from ATI anymore, I refused to do what ATI wanted and simply chose to decide for an Nvidia board.
kind regards Eberhard
So its true? no 7.2 support for old drivers and no 9000 support for new ones. Anyone in the Cape Town area want a Radeon 9000 card :)
You can always attract Windows Users with this board. Your Radeon is supported for Win XP with a driver dating from November 2006. And you even get XP drivers for a 7000. I must admit that Vista drivers from ATI are provided for newer cards, only. This imho nevertheless shows that ATI handles Linux users with a Radeon 9000 that imho is not "too old" as second class customers.
Ye, my other machines all use nVidia cards. Hopefully the fact that AMD is now on the open source bandwagon will convince me to go back to ATI in the future.
Not for me, I prefer to buy where I am treated like a worthy customer. Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
