I've got a PC (Dell) that came with a Radeon HD 2400 XT (RV610 chipset).
Afaik there isn't 3D support yet with this card, so my primary goal is
to get it working as far as 2D and speed is concerned (I don't want to
go for "vesa" if at all possible)
Which driver should I use for this card - radeon or radeonhd?
My impression is that radeon is the more stable and feature-complete at
present. I've tested both on a couple of cards and radeonhd had some
flaws (which I now can't recall).
Probably won't get 2D acceleration on that card yet. Probably not even
after 7.1-RELEASE, then xorg-7.4 and Robert Noland's DRM updates.
However, AMD just released some stuff and more is on the way.
Anything to consider besides having either "Driver radeon" or "Driver
radeonhd" in the xorg.conf in order to get going?
Not that I can recall.
