Hi, there is a preliminary driver available for ATI R500/R600 cards (aka X1000 and higher) from the xorg git repository. For my laptop (ASUS A6JE running i386 8.0-CURRENT), which has a Radeon Mobility X1450 card : * panel works in native resolution (1280x800) * DVI out works. If I plug in a 1280x1024 monitor, I get 1280x800 on both the panel and the monitor, but maybe my xorg.conf was wrongly configured. * VGA out works, but apparently only for monitors which support reduced blanking. Other monitors are detected and set up, but xorg-server bails out at the last moment. As this driver is under development, there is no support yet for TV out or 2d/3d acceleration. I could make a local copy of the git sources and spam the PR database with daily updates (the developers seem to be off in the weekend) for x11-drivers/xf86-video-radeonhd . Users might want to subscribe to radeonhd(at)opensuse(dot)org Interested?
