I have a Radeon 9000 Mobility, and it works fine with the proprietary ATI drivers. I haven't tried svideo out yet though.

Hi
i have the same Grafic-card for my sony vaio PCG-GR250P.And i could it only make it work with Opensuse 10.1.

Code:

#lspci|grep Radeon
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY

and someone told me that:
'There's no support for that card in fglrx. Use the DRI project drivers instead.'

but i don't know how do i do that.

just cause someone told you doesn't mean it's true. Look at ati's webpage and see if you can find any info. If not download the proprietary drivers and just see if they work sometimes even if a card is not officially supported it will work. Lastly you can use the dri projects "radeon" driver which does have direct rendering support. Look for a "dri wiki" or something for your distro it takes some playin around but basically you need to have dri enabled in the kernel and your agpgart support. and the correct lines in your xorg.conf

i am alredy i can use my ATI video card. but i cant use S-Video out and 3D. at past i use fedora 4 core it run 3d (not s-video out ). now i use Gentoo 2005.1 and 3d is not run. and then think after ATI dont support this cart for linux drivers. im try every day

when i run it gentoo iam write there
thank for helps :winks:

well when you emerge the ati-drivers please post any errors if any. Then when you run fglrxconfig command post any errors any. Then when you have the fglrx driver in your xorg.conf file try startx and post any errors from

/var/log/Xorg.0.log

you can do that by

Code:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | less
