..I use an ATI 9250 (Sapphire's 128bit AGP w128 memory) on standard
Debian Sid X86Free DRI code, all I did was edit the driver line in
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to use the radeon driver, and restart X:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/tmp/cK $ cat /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 |grep Driver
Driver "keyboard"
Driver "mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Driver "mouse"
### Available Driver options are:-
# Driver "ati"
Driver "radeon"
Driver "mouse"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/tmp/cK $
..it is seen as an ATI 9200 PRO, if you have more recent cards than the
9250, DRI may still see it as a 9200PRO, but you will wanna consider
compiling the newest X.org release or swap it for a Nvidea (or use ATI
crappy proprietary drivers)

Scenarios always come in sets of three:
best case, worst case, and just in case.
