I don'r know about the resolution and stuff, but the radeon driver
supports the X550. Here is a few lines snipped from /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
(--) Chipset ATI Radeon X550 (RV370) 5B63 (PCIE) found
(--) RADEON(0): Chipset: "ATI Radeon X550 (RV370) 5B63 (PCIE)" (ChipID
= 0x5b63)
root@kg-quiet# pciconf -lv | grep -A 8 drm0
drm0@pci1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x09641462 chip=0x5b631002 rev=0x00
hdr=0x00 vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc'
device = 'Radeon X550 Series'
class = display
subclass = VGA
none1@pci1:0:1: class=0x038000 card=0x09651462 chip=0x5b731002 rev=0x00
hdr=0x00 vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc'
device = 'Radeon X550 Series - Secondary'
class = display
This is on a mchine that runs:
root@kg-quiet# uname -a
FreeBSD kg-quiet.kg4.no 6.3-STABLE FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE #20: Thu Jan 24
00:42:47 CET 2008 root@kg-quiet.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/QUIET
amd64
with Xorg:
root@kg-quiet# portversion -v | grep xorg-server
xorg-server-1.4_4,1 = up-to-date with port
The only special thing i had to do was to specify my mode with
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768"
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
without that, my LCD monitor would run in a non-native mode.
