I have the exact same card in my iBook and it's working flawlessly, so the following should work if you are running kernel 2.6: * Install the latest version of xserver-xfree86 from unstable. * (Re)configure X and select the "ati" driver; answer Yes when debconf asks if you want to use the framebuffer. * In your /etc/modules-2.6 file (or in /etc/modules if that file doesn't exist), add these three lines. They MUST be in this order: agpgart uninorth_agp radeon (Maybe the uninorth_agp isn't necessary on non-Apple machines? Don't know.) * In your bootloader config file (e.g. /etc/lilo.conf), add the argument append="video=radeonfb" to your default kernel entry, then run the bootloader installer (e.g. lilo) if necessary. * Reboot and start X -- good luck! Run glxgears to see if your video acceleration is working. regards, -- Kevin B.
