Hello there I have the ATI Radeon 8500, RH 8.0 does support my card but you
can offical Unsupported drivers from ATI, but I think your going to get the
same problem as when you install the drivers. If you need I can help in some
parts of the installation or you can help me installing the drivers too.

Subject: [XFree86] ATI Radion 9000 RH 8.0 Configuration Error
Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2003 16:37:19 -0600
I'm having some dificulties configuring X to run with a dual headed system
based on ATI's Radion 9000.
I'm running Red Hat 8.0 and their comments are simply We don't support it
...
I went to the ATI site and got their driver files and executed them. They
claim to install OK but when I run fglrxconfig X won't start.
Looking at the logs it appears to be some sort of configuration problem --
the server cant find a screen device and then dies. There appears to be
one in the config file so I'm baffeled.
I've attached the logs and config files both from a unsucessfull
fglrxconfig XF86Config-4 file using the fglrx driver and the redhat x
configurator files that do work (well both monitors give me the same image)
using the vesa driver.
I'd appreciate it if anyone out there who has had this problem could give
me a hand. Or just point me at the right section of the X Docs for that
matter. I'm trying to avoid reading the whole lot.
Thanks
XFree86 Version 4.2.0 (Red Hat Linux release: 4.2.0-72) / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
Release Date: 23 January 2002
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/)
