This is an ATI video adapter

== Features ==
* Chipset: ATI RV200 (variant of the R100 core)
* PCI ID: 1002:4c57
* AGP 4X
* 16 or 32MB DDR-SDRAM video memory
* External VGA up to: 2048x1536x16.7M at 75Hz
</div>

|}

== Linux driver - OpenSource ==
This adapter is supported by recent versions of the [[radeon]] driver as found in X.Org and XFree86. It also works with the 'ati' driver. It does '''not''' work with the [[fglrx]] binary driver.

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

=== External VGA port ===
Works fine with open-source drivers. It turns on automatically when an external display is present. It can also be used for dualhead with Xinerama (with different resolutions on both screens) or MergedFB.

=== 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.

=== DVI port ===
{{Todo|...}}

=== 3D Acceleration ===
Initially, ATI did not produce Radeon drivers for Linux, instead giving hardware specifications and documentation to Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) developers under various non-disclosure agreements. The proprietary Linux drivers don't support the R100 chips (Radeon 7000-7500).

As of 2006.09, with Debian Sid (X Window System Version 7.0.0) i have 3D acceleration, without any proprietary or GATOS driver. Kernel version is 2.6.16.28.

OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Radeon 20060327 AGP 1x TCL
OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 6.5.1

It is reported that 3D Acceleration works fine with DRI driver under Fedora Core distribution, with the configuration similar to [[R300]].

If you are using Hardy Heron Ubuntu 8.04 then use the following device and relevant sections of my xorg.conf, I have xcompmgr running smoothly.
Video runs smoothly too.

PLEASE EDIT THE GARTSize option to reflect the amount of system RAM you have available for your card.

== Linux driver - proprietary ==
ATi's proprietary Linux drivers support only the R200/FireGL graphics chips and above. The Mobility Radeon 7500 is based on the R100 graphics chip; the only Linux driver available for this chip is the open-source radeon DRI.
