RadeonHD Starts Supporting The RV670

Posted by Michael Larabel on December 21, 2007

On top of AMD releasing the Catalyst 7.12 Linux driver, the ATI 6.7.197 driver being released, and the AtomBIOS R500/600 support being merged to master, the RadeonHD driver is beginning to support the RV670 GPU, which is used by the Radeon HD 3850 and Radeon HD 3870. The PCI IDs have been added as well as adding the PLL control values, TMDSB electrical values, and TMDSA electrical values. If you're using one of these new ATI PCI Express 2.0 graphics cards, be sure to check out the latest code from the xf86-video-radeonhd git tree.
