Radeon 7000/VE, 7200, 7500, 8500, 9000, 9100, 9500, 9700 are all supported in Red Hat Linux 9, including the "Pro" variants of the latter chips. The Radeon 7200 has been supported in Red Hat Linux since Red Hat Linux 7.0 several years ago. All of the above cards are supported with dualhead if the model is a dualhead model. All of the above cards are also supported with 3D except for the 9500 and 9700. I'm not sure where you've got your information that the Radeon 7200 is not supported by Red Hat Linux 9, as it's been supported out of the box in every OS release including version 9 for about 3.5 years. This card is the original Radeon card, and was previously known under different marketing names when it was originally released "Radeon 32SDR/DDR" and "Radeon 64SDR/DDR". Another variant of this card is the "Radeon LE", which is also supported, and will be detected as a Radeon 7200 also, as it has the same PCI device ID. >I have read that you have to download a newer version of the x >server...

All you've stated, is that Radeon 7200 is not supported by Red Hat Linux 9, and that is false, as I have 2 machines running Red Hat Linux 9 beside me, with Radeon 7200 hardware in them, working flawlessly, and using the stock drivers that come with Red Hat Linux 9. Supply more information and perhaps someone can help you. -- Mike A.
