=== ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 ===
This is an ATI video adapter

=== Features ===
* Chipset: ATI M6
* PCI ID: 1002:4c59
* AGP 4X
* 8 or 16MB DDR-SDRAM video memory
* External VGA up to: 2048x1536x16.7M at 75Hz

=== Also known (in IBM literature) as.... ===
* ATI Mobility RADEON
* ATI Rage Mobility RADEON M6
* ATI Rage Mobility RADEON M6MC

=== Linux driver - OpenSource ===
This adapter is supported by recent versions of the 'radeon' driver as found in X.Org and XFree86.
==== ThinkPad LCD ====
Display on the internal LCD works as long as you set the monitor settings correct.

For Xinerama to work properly on Fedora Core 4 you need to first configure it with the display tools, then manually add
*Option "MergedFB" "True"
*Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, CRT"
to the Videocard0 section.

==== External VGA port ====
Works fine with xorg radeon driver.

==== SVideo port ====
SVideo out is supported by the ati.2 driver from the [http://gatos.sourceforge.net/ GATOS project].<br/>
Read [[How to get TV-Out working on ATI graphic cards|here]] how to set it up.

=== Linux driver - Proprietary ===
This chip is not supported by the proprietary ATI driver

=== Linux kernel Framebuffer driver ===
* tested and working fine under gentoo
* tested and working under debian (with re-compiled kernel 2.6.16-9)

=== ThinkPads this chip may be found in ===
* {{A30}}, {{A30p}}
* {{R32}}
* {{R40}}
* {{X22}}, {{X23}}, {{X24}}
* {{X31}}, {{X32}}

=== Problems (and Solutions) ===

==== Xorg & OpenGL ====

See http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-451151-highlight-.html for information on how to enable stable OpenGL support. Some of the tricks are:

:* disable the console frame buffer.
:* disable the hardware cursor in Xorg.
:* plus some more.

Additional site: https://stier.is-a-geek.com/~moinmoin/moin.cgi/LinuxRadeonM6LY/Conf1

NOTE: I ([[User:msoos]]) actually got DRI direct rendering with framebuffer and hardware cursor, without ''any'' fancy setting at all (apart from re-compiling the 2.6.16-9 with some more-or-less standard setting) on Debian testing.

Msoos: /* Status */ updated with 2.6.16-9

== Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Driver for WiFi ==
Linux driver for the 802.11b NIC - miniPCI cards - found in Centrino laptops.

The following adapter sold by IBM uses this chipset:
* [[Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter]]

=== Project Homepage / Availability ===
http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/

=== Packages ===
*{{Fedora}} Packages(1): Fedora Core includes the ipw2100-drivers in FC3 (with updates) and FC4. You still need to grab the firmware from http://rpm.livna.org/
*{{Fedora}} Packages(2): http://www.atrpms.net/name/ipw2100/
*{{Mandrake}} Packages: modules included in stock kernel packages
*{{Debian}} Packages: http://packages.debian.org/ipw2100-source or inclueded in the kernel package (since 2.6.14 (?))

=== Status ===
* In development but usable. Version 1.0.5 works quite well with kernel 2.6.10.
* Works very well with kernel 2.6.16-9. Only firmware needs to be copied to the appropriate directory and everything works out-of-box.

=== Additional Comments ===
Make sure to try the newest version. You will need to install the loadable binary firmware provided on http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/firmware.php as required by the driver.

To install the firmware, decompress the <tt>.tgz</tt> in <tt>/lib/firmware</tt>

To turn off the radio on boot-up load ipw2100 with option disable=1, i.e. {{cmdroot|1=modprobe ipw2100 disable=1}}.
