you should definitely try it. The elderly radeon cards are more or less well supported. I don't had ATi cards since I sold my Xpert2000 some years ago, BUT when I remember right the articles I read, the Radeon7000 (up to 9200, but ATI users can say more about this) should be very well supported by the dri/gatos drivers. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
