=== ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 ===
This is an ATI video adapter.

=== Features ===
* Chipset: ATI M54
* PCI ID: 1002:7145
* PCI Express x16
* 128MB GDDR1 video memory
* Up to 512Mb HyperMemory - ATI's name for their GPUs that utilise shared and dedicated memory.

=== Linux X.Org driver ===
Not Supported.
There is an experimental avivo driver ([http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=avivo/xf86-video-avivo.git;a=summary]) which works, but does not yet support any 3D acceleration.

==== ThinkPad LCD ====
Display on the internal LCD works as long as you set the monitor settings correct.

==== External VGA port ====
({{Z61m}}): Works, but only if the X-server detects something plugged in here, eg. before X started or after a restart.

({{T60}}): use '''aticonfig --enable-monitor=lvds,crt1''' to clone onto the VGA port. I use this to drive projectors all the time. Note that only the physical resolutions of the VGA port and the LVDS can differ (that means that if you use clone mode, you can have a 1400x1050 internal screen and 1680x1050 external and use both of them at the same time, but the internal screen will show only a portion of the real "desktop"; this area shifts when you move your mouse towards the edge of the viewport).

==== SVideo port ====
??

==== DVI port ====

=== Linux X.org vesa driver ===

The vesa driver works out of the box. If you can't make it to show higher resolutions, you may try to use lower color depth -- the best fonts sizes on 15.4 widescreen were achieved with 1400x1050 at 16 depth (highcolor).

=== Proprietary ATI driver ===
Proprietary [[fglrx]] driver version 8.24.8 adds support for the x1400 chipset (according to ATI changelog). It works, including dualhead, 3d and video (XV) acceleration, when using the fglrx kernel module. (Without it, you get screen corruption including underlined mouse pointers.)

Sample "Device" section for xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Graphics Adapter 0"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "ForceMonitors" "lvds,crt1"
Option "Centermode" "off"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
Option "OverlayOnCRTC2" "0"
Option "PseudoColorVisuals" "off"
Option "HSync2" "31-64"
Option "VRefresh2" "56-75"
Option "UseFastTLS" "off"
Option "Mode2" "1280x1024,1024x768,800x600,640x480"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

XVideo support using the VideoOverlay option may not work with recent drivers. With version 8.29.6 of the fglrx driver, you can instead use

Option "TexturedVideo" "on"

Use the '''xvinfo''' utility to verify if XVideo support is available.

==== Proprietary ATI driver on Ubuntu Feisty ====
On my Lenovo R60 (9641HYM) I had a similar system hang (on return from sleep) as described on the [[ATI_Mobility_FireGL_V5200]] , and a similar fix (Step 3) seemed to get my laptop to wake up safely.

That fix is to edit /etc/default/acpi-support. Change the line POST_VIDEO=true to read POST_VIDEO=.

==== Proprietary ATI driver and suspend2 ====
It works perfetctly, but you need to set this parameter:
echo 20000 >/sys/power/suspend2/extra_pages_allowance

=== Linux kernel Framebuffer driver ===
Works with the VESA driver at 1280x1024 (you have to append {{bootparm|vga|794}} to the kernel boot parameters) and 1400x1050 ({{bootparm|vga|837}}). Does not work wirh vesa-tng at more than 1024x768 :(

=== ThinkPads this chip may be found in ===
* {{T60}}
* {{Z61m}}
* {{R60}} - Lenovo R60 contains X1400 chipset
