Last i heard, the open-source driver only supported DRI for cards up to but not including the R300 series (Radeon 9500). The closed-source driver from ati.com installs a kernel-module, fglrx.ko (so needs to be able to find the kernel-sources), along with X-support & some utilities including their own version of 'xorgconfig' which creates a new xorg.conf with the appropriate device-section for the detected card. Although i've used the closed-source driver in the past (my RV280, Radeon 9200SE works with either), it was always on Gentoo systems, so i have no experience of installing it under BLFS. I don't wish to confuse matters, so if anyone can confirm or refute the above, or provide better information, please do so. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
