thanks a lot for your answers, i managed to get the 7500 to work after compiling a new kernel with the appropriate modules - it was indeed very easy. as carlos said, no downloads from the ati page were necessary.
for the archive : a document that describes how to set up the thinkpad r51 under debian sarge - including wlan (intel pro 2100), gbit ethernet (intel pro 1000), and of course the radeon 7500 is available at http://www.sp1r1t.de/networks/linux_on_ibm_thinkpad_r51.html the document does not yet include the section on the 7500, but i am currently finishing that part and it will definitly be there within the next 2 days. thanks again for your support, Tim > On Wed, Jul 21, 2004 at 02:15:36PM +1200, Andrew McMillan wrote : > >> There have been reports of success with the fglrx drivers with 7500, I >> believe.
