Saphire (ATI) X700 Pro video Card

[helpmhost]

Hi,

Is there a driver patch I can download for this video card?

Or how do I setup this card properly in linux? What card and features should I enable in the kernel?

Is there a special configuration for X.org?

Thanks.

which distro are you using?

ive used the x7oo with madriva and suse10 with no issues, at installation they both picked right up = /


try using harddrake 2 [ if you have it ] i've found it to very very usefull in hardware issues..

I am using Mepis.

I was just getting some issues in KDE that were graphics related.

I found the solution though. By default, Xorg used the vesa driver, and I found that the radeon driver works for this card. So I changed it and everything is working fine now.

Thanks.

jeeplvr4u I have a ATi brand x700 pro (agp) and i have having problems getting 3d acceleration working. I got the ATi propritary drivers and installed them via their .rpm but I'm really new to the whole linux thing and I'm not sure what step I should take next. I'm in the process of doing so research on the subject so hopefully I can get it solved before anyone replys.
