You could try current xf86-video-ati Git; it basically supports your card, though there may be issues with the low-level initialization of the card. There's also xf86-video-radeonhd, but I have no idea what the status of that is on powerpc. Also, if OpenFirmware puts up an image on the card on bootup, the xf86-video-fbdev driver should work with the kernel OFfb driver. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
