[ILUG] DRM on Radeon Mobility

[Ewan Oughton]

I have one of these kooky radeons in my laptop, with dri working a-plenty.


First off, get yourself X4.4 src (or 4.3.99 is youre a license person) and
then go the DRI wiki, get the patch for dri on the mobility. Then get the
kernel patch, should apply cleanly to any 2.6 kernel. Compile your kernel
and X. Go travel the world for a few years, come back and the compile
should be done.


The full directions can be found here:
