Xf86cfg

How do I configure XFree86 to use ATI Radeon drivers?

ATI Radeon cards 8500,9000,9200 and 9250 work with open source drivers and support OpenGL 3D Graphics.

To configure X to use the Radeon drivers, the configuration file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 should be edited as follows:

Section "Device"
  Identifier      "ATI Radeon 9000"
  Driver          "radeon"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
  Device          "ATI Radeon 9000"

Note

The installation process may have set the driver type to "ati". This needs to be changed to "radeon" for XFree86 installations.
