For lspci:
For ATI 7500 and X look here:

I hope this helps.
You need to emerge xfree-drm with a 2.4.x kernel. If you have a 2.6.x kernel activate the suitable "direct rendering manager" in your kernel (also a lot of information in this forum! Use the search function!)

| Code: | | /usr/src/linux # make menuconfig |
Menu:
| Code: | Device Drivers --->
Character Devices --->
<M> /dev/agpgart support (AGP support)
<M> proper chipset driver (for your Mac)
<*> Direct Rendering Manager (...)
<M> ATI Radeon |
Activate DRI support in in you xorg.conf/XF86Config:
| Code: | Section "Module"
...
Module "dri"
...
EndSection
Section "dri"
# Set permissions
Mode 0666
EndSection |
But there is a lot of information in this forum about this topic (I have to say again to you... )
emerge ati-drivers will not work: ATI drivers are binaries for x86 and you have a PPC arch. and unless ATI releases open-source drivers or binary drivers for PPC the driver won't work.

PS: Search the forums
