Re: ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 - Toshiba Tecra S1
I have a Dell I8200 with this same chip, and it works beautifully for me....
here's what you need to do:
1) Use X 4.3 (Daniel Stones from penguinppc.org)
2) Install the xlibmesa4-drm-src package (also found in Daniel Stones
repository)
3) Recompile your kernel and include the xlibmesa4-drm modules
4) Tell X to use the 'radeon' driver
5) Enjoy X with nice 3D acceleration
