radeonHD available for download

Try now, your card will only get support after someone reports it.

What information do we need to post? I have an Acer Ferrari 5000 and I'm currently using the avivo driver.

Wow... Nice work so far guys!

I added my card to the id list and got a screen up on the lvds display(the lcd connected on the vga port was garbled, but w/e).

I was impressed with the 2d performance. I am looking forward to seeing where this driver goes in the coming future.

It is not the chipset which isn't supported, it is the card which isn't supported. We need to carry around card specific information such as the connector layout. Sadly atombios provides insufficient information.

So will the RadeonHD driver actually support the R500 (520 etc) series of cards as well? It seems like only R600 support is being worked on. If it will what can a non-programmer like me to do help? I have a Mobility X1400.

K.. I misread the xlog error; sorry for the confusion.

I sent in my xorg log nontheless.

There might be some delay, as many people need to see their cards supported.

It doesn't look like all chipsets are supported yet. If you chipset isn't a certain one the driver throws an X error and stops the server startup.

The Mobility X1300 isn't supported. Looking at ati_id.c there are 4 different PCI Ids for such a card; not sure which mine is. If someone knows how to get that it'd be appreciated.

Also it mentions a mailing list; anyone know where that mailing list is and where to subscribe?
