Any thoughts on ATI Radeon Mobility 7000, 7500 and alike? You can't
download ATI Mobility drivers for linux from their site, :-(. How about
the basic XFree 4.2/4.3 drivers? DRI?
My new laptop has an ATI Radeon Mobility 9000.  Normal X requires an
XFree86 4.3 server (I got binaries off of xfree86.org) but works fine
beyond that.  For DRI, I think you need to get the kernel driver out
of the DRI CVS tree.  (A freshly compiled 2.4.21 kernel isn't good
enough.)
I have an ATI Radeon Mobility 7500, XFree 4.3, linux 2.4.21. I've downloaded ATI-4.3.0-10.i386.tar.gz <http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gatos/ATI-4.3.0-10.i386.tar.gz?download> and drm-kernel-1.100.0-10.tar.gz <http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gatos/drm-kernel-1.100.0-10.tar.gz?download> from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12629 , installed the stuff and everything, including DRI, seems to work fine.
