I have been having a real problem trying to find out whether the radeon driver supports DRI for this chipset (X550/X700).
I bought Sapphire Card that said that it was based on a radeon x700 (which should be supported by radeon DRI). Linux lists two unknown ATI display devices, FreeBSD lists:
'Radeon x550/x700 Series'
chip=0x56571002
and
'Radeon X550/X700 series Secondary'
chip=0x56771002
It shows up similarly on windows once I install the Sapphire provided drivers.
I have a single widescreen monitor attached to the VGA (it also has DVI) and can get the native 1680x1050 display resolution after running X -configure and using the generated .conf (which only has one device and lists the board as 'unknown'). However, I can never get DRI to work with this thing on FreeBSD or linux.
I get a DRMGetVersion failed error in the Xorg log. I even tried installing the fglrx driver in ubuntu and that was an absolute disaster. With fglrx, the system reboots everytime I try to log in.
So now I'm confused about what chipset I even have (what's with the 'X550 slash X700') and have no clue whether there is any configuration that'll get DRI to work.
ANY help, wven pointing me to a better place to ask would be VERY welcome. Of course, if anyone is familiar with a chip like this that'd be great.
