Help with ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP
I'm looking for a kind soul to help me get X working
on my ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP card in my HP
Pavilion zv5120us laptop. I'm running Debian Sid with
XFree 4.4.0 (I'd happily go back to 4.3.x if I knew
how and knew it would get my card working better).
I'm currently running X with the built-in "radeon"
driver but I have no glx or any hardware 3D
acceleration. Any help or pointers to help would be
appreciated. I don't subscribe to debian-x, so please
email me direct if you can provide assistance.
lspci returns this about my card:
