[opensuse] Radeon Xpress 1100
Hello all, I am getting ready to purchase a new laptop and have been looking at the laptops based on the AMD Turion 64 X2 because I am wanting to run xen source and full virtualization. However, the systems that I have looked at are equipped with the Radeon Xpress 1100 gpu and I went to the ati web site and it does not appear in the list of chipsets. The driver finder for mobility radeons jumps from X800 to X1300, I even looked at integrated and standard gpus, same thing from X850 to X1300. Before I purchase a machine I want to know that the gpu is supported for hardware acceleration. Any HATs (Hints, Advice, Thoughts) would be appreciated. -- John Registered Linux User 263680, get counted at http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'm running 10.2 on a similar laptop here, the sticker on the box says "radeon xpress 1100" but actually its a radeon 200M. It works just fine with the "normal" ati binary driver. just make sure to install 32bit, otherwise some openGL apps won't work because the 64bit radeon driver doesn't support all the needed features (google earth being the most prominent of those). bye, MH -- gpg key fingerprint: 5F64 4C92 9B77 DE37 D184 C5F9 B013 44E7 27BD 763C -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
