Ati Radeon 9600 Mobility. Ati does not supply any support for laptop



Xorg does now have support for the mobility chips IIRC. I did some research on laptops at the end of last year, but did not buy so i may have this wrong. However i thought Xorg 6.8 had support for some ATI mobility stuff, and it was fairly new.




cards and Yakumo has only (old) windows versions. The last time I experimentated with linux drivers (x86, Nvidia GForce 4 Ti 4200) I ended up 1D instead of 3D. Every time I tried to load the driver there was only one line on the screen left.



luxury, the first computer i used had to be bootstrapped with a hex keypad then loaded from hand fed punch cards or a paper tape reader. the output was a row of led's until you got the os loaded, then you got a teletype.

Anyway I look forward to successfully showing you gentoo (Nick crosses
fingers that he can successfully get this hardware working sweetly)

Me too. But don't forget: Systems tend to always break down when you want to show them (or run if you want to demonstrate an error). ;)

Happy Hacking,
