      áhh.. én már régóta mérges vok rájuk.. mivel ati radeon 7500-m van.. és sehogyse tom életre kellteni a 3d támogatást.. pedig elvileg lehetne.. és szerintem az Xgl is menne a gépemen.. vagy van olyan régi ati driver valahol ami még támogatja a kártyámat?.. nem tudtok ilyesmiröl?

        Van reménysugár. Bár „The proprietary Linux drivers don’t support the R100 chips (Radeon 7000-7500).”, tehát az ATi driverei nem támogatják (a régiek sem, direkt megnéztem a history-t / previous drivereket) a Radeon 7500-at, de a DRI driverek igen:

        Initially, ATI did not produce Radeon drivers for Linux, instead giving hardware specifications and documentation to Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) developers under various non-disclosure agreements. ATI has in mid 2004, however, started to support Linux (XFree86, X.Org), hiring a new Linux driver team to produce fglrx. Their new proprietary Linux drivers, instead of being a port of the Catalyst drivers, were based on the Linux drivers for the FireGL (the FireGL drivers worked with Radeons before, but didn’t officially support them), a card geared towards graphics producers, not gamers; though the display drivers part is now based on the same sources as the ones from Windows Catalyst since version 4.x in late 2004. The frequency of driver updates increased in late 2004, releasing Linux drivers every 2 months, half as often as their Windows counterparts. Then since late 2005 this has been increased to monthly releases, inline with the Windows CATALYST releases. The proprietary Linux drivers don’t support the R100 chips (Radeon 7000-7500).
        The efforts to provide free drivers for these cards continue, though. While the R100 and R200-series chipset drivers were written using specifications provided by ATI (r200 driver), the R300-R500 hardware acceleration was written through reverse engineering (r300 driver) the methods used by ATI’s proprietary driver. The reverse-engineered code is now in X.Org and Mesa, bringing experimental support for some of the current Radeon cards. All r3xx cards and all r4xx excluding the Xpress integrated chips should be supported by the new experimental r300 driver. With the 2.6.17 kernel, some cards from the r300 driver were added to the radeon driver (http://wiki.kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_17).
        On April 12, 2006, ATI released binary drivers for the ATI R5x0 chips (x1300/x1600/x1800 cards), approximately six months after first releasing these cards.
        There are a number of unofficial community websites for Bug Tracking and a Wiki.
        As of the 8.25.18 Linux driver release R200 support is completely broken. There has been no comment from ATI on the problem. [1]

        Direct Rendering Infrastructure
        From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
        Jump to: navigation, search

        In computing, the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) is an interface used in the X Window System to securely allow user applications to access the video hardware without requiring data to be passed (slowly) through the X Server. Its primary application is to provide hardware acceleration of the Mesa implementation of OpenGL. It has also been adapted to provide OpenGL acceleration on a framebuffer console without an X Server running.
        The project was started by Jens Owen of Precision Insight. It was first made widely available as part of XFree86 4.0 and is now part of the X.Org Server. It is nowadays maintained by Tungsten Graphics and many other open-source developers.
        The DRI OpenGL support consists of several pieces. The first is the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM). The DRM is a combination of at least two kernel modules, one of core DRM code and others providing APIs to userland to access different classes of video hardware. Second is a userland driver module, which contains an OpenGL driver that typically prepares buffers of commands to be sent to the hardware by the DRM, and interacts with the windowing system for synchronization of access to the hardware. Third, there is some sort of server. In X this is the libdri.so support module and a DRI-enabled DDX (2D driver). In the framebuffer implementation this is miniglx, which initializes the DRM and provides some X APIs to the userland driver despite the lack of an X Server.
        Several Open Source DRI drivers have been written, including for ATI Mach64, ATI Rage128, ATI Radeon, 3dfx Voodoo3 through Voodoo5, Matrox G200 through G400, SiS 300-series, Intel i810 through i915, S3 Savage, and VIA unichrome graphics chipsets. Some graphics vendors have written closed-source DRI drivers, including ATI and Kyro. The DRI is supported on Linux and FreeBSD, and it has been ported to NetBSD in the past.

        Tehát számodra ez a DRI driver leeht megoldás.

        !!!!!!!!!!!!! ÉS ITT JÖN AZ A RÉSZ, AMIÉRT SEM ÉN, SEM A DRI DRIVER ÍRÓI NEM VÁLLALUNK FELELŐSSÉGET !!!!!!!!!!!!!

        DRI driver letöltés:

        http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Download

        http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/

        A te esetedben ez a fontos:

        Note: If you are using a radeon 8500 or higher (8500, 8700, 9000, 9100, 9200, IGP9100, etc.) choose the r200 shapshot, otherwise choose radeon (7000, 7200, 7500, IGP320, IGP340, etc.).

        Tehát megpróbálhatod a legújabb DRI Radeon snapshot driverrel:

          Úgy látom, ahogyan a Windows-os ATi driver (Catalyst) esetében – is -, az ATi (AMD) itt is kidobta a régi kártyák támogatását.. A web-lapjukon most olvasom:

          As of driver version 8.29.6 support for the following products is no longer included:

              * Radeon® 8500/9000/9100/9200/9250
              * Mobility™ Radeon® 9000/9100/9200
              * Radeon® IGP 9000/9100/9200

          Users with these products should use driver version 8.28.8

          Hogy ezt miért csinálják, azt csak ők tudják, de itt van az új driver release note-ja:

          ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Version 8.29.6

                Note: ATI has accepted contributed packaging scripts to allows creation of other packages, but does not necessarily test, verify or warrant the reliability. Currently Red Hat Enterprise Linux suite and Novell/SuSE product suite are supported Linux distributions

          System Requirements

          Before attempting to install the ATI Proprietary Linux driver, the following software must be installed:

              * XOrg 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, or 7.1; XFree86 version 4.3
              * Linux kernel 2.4 or higher
              * glibc version 2.2 or 2.3
              * POSIX Shared Memory (/dev/shm) support is required for 3D applications

          The ATI Proprietary Linux driver no longer provides precompiled Kernel Modules; all installations require GCC compiler and kernel-headers or kernel-source in order to enable 2D and 3D acceleration.

          For best performance and ease of use, ATI recommends the following:

              * Kernel module build environment – should include the following:
                    o Kernel source code: Either the Kernel Source or Kernel Headers packages
              * ISSE Support enabled in your Linux Kernel
                    o Applies to Intel Pentium III and later CPUs only
                    o Enabled by default on version 2.4 and later kernels
              * The rpm utility should be installed and configured correctly on your system, if you intend to install via RPM packages
              * QT version 2.x.x is needed for the ATI Control Panel, but is not mandatory
                Note: The following 32 bit packages must be installed in order for 64 bit drivers to install and work properly (the package names are from Red Hat Enterprise Linux, other distribution package names may vary): · XFree86-Mesa-libGL*
                · libstdc++
                · libgcc
                · XFree86-libs
                · fontconfig
                · expat
                · freetype
                · zlib
