Radeon Desktop Video Cards

Hi Dave,

I am trying to run the ATI Radeon 7000 64 MB PCI Card.

The attached xorg.conf.new file is created using "Xorg -configure".

I replace the existing xorg.conf file with the system generated
xorg.conf.new file. Then I run the X-Server again but the system hangs.

Then I did the changes in the device and screen section using the link
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=107049

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 7000 VE (RV100
QY) 1"
        Driver          "radeon"
        BusID           "AGP:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "screen1"
        Device          "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 7000 VE (RV100
QY) 1"
        Monitor         "monitor1"
        DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport 0 0
                Depth           24
                Modes           "1280x1024" "1024x768" "832x624"
"800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

But I get the following error in Xlog file as  "ATI Technologies, Inc.
Radeon 7000 VE (RV100 QY) 1" driver is not valid for the card attached.

Best Regards

Deepak Bhatia

Machine doesn't boot at all? or X doesn't start.

You may need to set the BIOS to use the PCI graphics instead of the
onboard..
