Re: Radeon Mobility LY supported by Debian?

Hello,

We just installed Debian woody on a Dell Inspiron 4100. The lspci command shows it has a Radeon Mobility LY. So I checked the X documentation, which says that I should use the ati driver, which will detect the Radeon card and load the proper driver. I selected this in the xserver-xfree86 debconf system.

When I type "startx", it lists a set of R128 and Radeon cards supported, but Radeon Mobility LY is not listed. Is this card unsupported? Do I need to wait for the 4.2.0 packages?

Hi.
I've a Asus LK series notebook which has the same card (ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY). It's from the latest release of XFree that it's really supported. I'm using December01-cvs release of XFree (4.1.99), so I think it's better to look at 4.2 pkgs now (where/if available [*]).


As a newbie to this list ... I have a lot of questions to ask for :) So be patient with my future messages ;)

[*] : anyone know about unofficial X4.2 debian packages?

Bye,
