I've got XFree86 4.2 running on my Radeon 7500 under the Linux 2.4.9-31
kernel.
One site that helped me finally get DRI Acceleration working is:
http://dri.sourceforge.net/download.phtml
It looks like it's not uploaded yet, so check here:
http://dri.sourceforge.net/snapshots/
My config file is attached.

I'm running FreeBSD 4.5 and want to upgrade from XFree86 3.x to XFree86
4.2 because I recently picked up a ATI Radeon 7500 AGP card (support by
X4.2). After upgrading using the Xinstall.sh script, I tried to configure
my XF86Config file. The "XFree86 -configure" option didn't work for me as
it generated a XF86Config file that resulted in out-of-frequency ranges
for my monitor. I tried to use the xf86config utility but don't see the
ATI Radeon 7500 card listed in the video card listing...? Is the ATI
Radeon 7500 compatible with another ATI card that is in the listing?
Anyone had success configuring XFree86 4.2 with the ATI 7500?
Thanks,
