 Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2008 3:41 pm Post subject: HIS Radeon Cards |
 |
|
| Hi, I was just wondering, is the HIS Radeon HD 2600 XT IceQ Turbo supported in Gentoo. If so do I have to install something else with Gentoo or is it just OOTB support? Thanks! ^_^ |

Maybe it is supported with the proprio ATI driver.
I'm sure that the Open source radeon driver doesn't support this card. |

Yep, xf86-video-radeonhd. Still only available on git, although Ubuntu ships with it now. Works great although there's no acceleration yet. |

Note most Radeon cards are manufacturered by one company [basically Sapphire] and are rebranded to HIS/MSI/... etc. This even includes ATI branded cards.

Actually, radeonhd is in portage:

Works quite well here, way more stable than fglrx, and Kwin composite works.

AMD is scheduled to release r500/r600 shader documentation in February, which will enable, at a minimum, XVideo, and will probably make OpenGL 1.x possible. The goal, according to Airlied, is to get Compiz running as soon as possible.
