I never have on my iMac DV or my 2003 ibook and never had problems other
than having use Option "UseFBDev" "true" under Section "Device" to
get X working.
lspci | grep Rage (or what ever your card is called)
The format is supposed to be BusID "PCI:00:16:0"
or
BusID "PCI:0:16:0"
Read http://www.jedimike.net/misc/linux/compaq_presario_2598.shtml
' Parts to notice in the XF86Config are the "Device" section labeled
"Radeon IGP 345M" -- the driver is "radeon" and the BusID was obtained
from lspci:
[...]
0000:01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon IGP 340M
The first part, "0000:01:05.0" is what needs to be copied. 0000:xx:yy.z
maps to "BusID xx:yy:z". The "Screen" section then sets "Device" to
"Radeon IGP 345M" '
