They have no on-board RAM and are PCI Express, as I did the radeon PCIE support and I had to put certain things in on-board RAM, I'm unsure how these chips work, you could see if you can get fglrx working, then you could use hw_script from somewhere on r300.sf.net and the scripts from http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/r300/r300_driver/hw_scripts/ to give me the info on what way the chip is configured.. > 2) What more information do I need to bring this aspect of the driver up > to par with the older cards/chipsets? 3) How do I go about gathering > this information?
