ATI drivers

Dec 12, 2003 Animal link
I've got a 64Mb ATI Radeon 7000 gfx card. Where can i get openGL drivers for 3d acceleration for it for debian linux?

I used to play vendetta when i had a GeForce 2, and drivers for that were easy to find, but all i'm doing is chasing my tail with this radeon.


Any links gratefully accepted!

The DRI drivers are included with XFree86. to make them work, make sure you've got them in the kernel(radeon.o) and put "ati" into the driver line in you XF86Config. More info:

http://gatos.sourceforge.net/ (this is a branch of the regular drivers)

http://dri.sourceforge.net/ (nice docs on how to set everything up).

I don't know about debians stock kernel and xfree builds, but they should already have everything needed. So putting "ati" (or "radeon", they are equivalent) instead of "vesa" or whatever into your XF86Config should "just work".
