ATI Mobility Radeon 7500

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

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.

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 GATOS project.
Read here how to set it up.

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).

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.
