Debian, X and ATI Radeon X1300
Hi!
The graphics card in my Debian machine died a couple of weeks ago, and
I had to buy a new one. I ended up with a ATI Radeon X1300, since I
have had good experiences with ATI cards and Debian before.
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 7146
0000:01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 7166
But it didn't work. Neither XFree86 from Sarge nor Xorg from
backports.org find the card, so I'm currently using the "vesa" driver,
which isn't very optimal. Is there any version of X that works with
X1300?
I tried downloading ATI's drivers, but they give an error while trying
to build the module.
make.sh: line 1: gcc-2.9: command not found
make.sh: line 54: [: !=: unary operator expected
ATI module generator V 2.0
==========================
initializing...
cleaning...
patching 'highmem.h'...
probing for VMA API version...
check results are inconsistent!!!
none of the probed versions did succeed.
aborting module build.
