Re: ATI Radeon 7500 & Woody - Unknown Chipset (0x5157)

[Tony Middleton <debian@perusal.info>]

'Afraid I can't remember the details,  it was some time ago.  I think 
there are various versions of the Radeon chip and the 7500 was new when 
4.1 came out.  I found a reference to problems with 4.1 so tried 4.2 and 
all my problems went away so I assumed that version was needed for the 7500.

Tony.
