Asus L3C here, ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500].
Acceleration is a bit buggy, still crashes running flightgear, but games
like tuxracer, torcs or neverball are running very well. glxgears report
500-600 FPS.
I don't remember doing anything much to get it working with recent
Sarge packages, I certainly didn't install anything from ATI's website.
Let's see:
1) Configured my kernel (2.6.7) appropriately (radeon driver)
I actually compiled all the AGP and DRM drivers as modules
2) Have installed xlibmesa-dri 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 and xserver-xfree86
4.3.0.dfsg.1-4
3) Have the following in my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
Section "Module"
...
Load "GLcore"
Load "dri"
Load "glx"
...
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon Mobility M7 [LW]"
Driver "ati"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon Mobility M7 [LW]"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
...
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
...
EndSection
