hi,
the ATI X1600 series works with free open source radeon driver (yes radeon, not radeonhd  ).
xv-video works for me now 
If you want 3D support, you must install experimental software.

X.Org 1.4.99.906
GLX Renderer Mesa DRI R300 20060815 x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL

| Mesa 7.1 has improved since 7.1rc3 and RadeonHD 1.3 will be the way to go. I believe that Xorg 7.4, Mesa 7.1 and RadeonHD 1.3 will be released by the end of the month and that will work even better, even if people will have to wait for Lenny if they don't want to use experimental. |

| I wonder how good is Compiz behaving with the open-source driver compared to fglrx? Any hints? |

With XAA, it's nearly the same. With the latest and greatest EXA fun (RadeonHD's CS-branch, will be merged to master really soon) it's better than fglrx. |

| OMG exciting. These are the two things I want then -- video acceleration and better Compiz performance. |

ok, i need to chip in
LOOK at this really quick before continuing if you use these drivers:
Code:
#not clean
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device 0"
Driver "radeon"
BoardName "ATI Technologies Inc M56GL [Mobility FireGL V5200]"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
#Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" #we are using exa!
#Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "true" #nvidia proprietary option
#Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true" #nvidia proprietary option
#Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true" #nvidia proprietary option
#Option "AGPMode" "8" #usually not needed, the driver will use the setting from BIOS (so don't set it - some people have pcie anyway)
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" #either XAA or EXA. "XAA" is the default and safe choice
#Option "ColorTiling" "on" #this is default
Option "AccelDFS" "true" #seemed to speed things up using EXA acceleration
#Option "TripleBuffer" "true" #nvidia proprietary option.
Option "DynamicClocks" "on" #This is for laptop users, it saves energy when in battery mode.
#Option "AGPFastWrite" "yes" #unstable with dynamic clocks, no noticeable performance benefit
EndSection
#clean
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device 0"

After XV-desaster on fglrx, I use the same setup and xorg.conf on Radeon 3200HD but xvinfo says"no adaptor present". Xorg.log says something like DRI not enabled.
Has anyone any idea.
Edit: Found http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/RadeonFeature
 So I will have to wait for RS780 Implementation. |

| I expect open source 2D acceleration + TexturedVideo (Xv) + desktop effects support within September. |

Hi,
thanks for this article. I'm very new to ATI graphic cards (this is the first day in my life) and ... jip .. I can't get it work.
Code:
[stell @ warhammer:~]% glxinfo | grep rend
direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
I have absolutely no idea what's wrong.
my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
my /var/log/Xorg.0.log
watch out for these lines in Xorg.0.log
Code:
(==) RADEON(0): Backing store disabled
(WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled
(EE) RADEON(0): Acceleration initialization failed
(II) RADEON(0): Acceleration disabled
my installed versions:
Code:
xserver-xorg -> 1:7.4~4
xserver-xorg-core -> 2:1.5.2-1
xserver-xorg-video-ati -> 1:6.9.0+git20081012.c0e6cb6d-1
xserver-xorg-video-radeon -> 1:6.9.0+git20081012.c0e6cb6d-1
libgl1-mesa-dri -> 7.2-1
libgl1-mesa-glx -> 7.2-1
libglu1-mesa -> 7.2-1
mesa-utils -> 7.2-1
Any ideas?
Whoops: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV630 [Radeon HD 2600 Series]
Edit2: err, ignore this posting, please
(==) RADEON(0): No acceleration support available on R600 yet. |
