Hi,
I have an ATI Radeon 9800 XL card and want to use it with debian/unstable Kernel 2.6.
From what my googling turned up so far I would need XFree 4.3?
In unstable I "only" found XFree 4.1. On apt-get.org I found XFree 4.3 for woody. Would I be able to use it? Any other place I can go for?
Cheers, Mariano
The Radeon 9800 is only supported by ATI's proprietary driver (if you want 3D accel), available here:
http://www.ati.com/support/products/workstation/firegl8800/linux/firegl8800linuxdrivers.html
That being the case, you can stick with XFree 4.1 or 4.2, as there are versions of the driver for XFree 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3.
The latest version supposedly works with the new 2.6 kernel, but I haven't tried.
