Re: Direct Rendering drivers for ATI X300 ?

[Gerhard Mack <gmack@innerfire.net>]

I found the problem.. there is no entry in pciids.h for my card:

0000:05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 
[Radeon X300 (PCIE)]
0000:05:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Radeon 
X300SE]

0000:05:00.0 0300: 1002:5b60
0000:05:00.1 0380: 1002:5b70
