That's correct for stock 4.3.0, but I heavily patch the Radeon driver to support newer hardware as often as I have time to commit to it. Unfortunately, ATI comes out with new hardware faster than I can keep up with. ;o) Our current rpms support *some* Radeon 9200 models, however your advice below should rectify that for people who have problems... >the bustype option wasn't added until >recently so right now it is only available in cvs, but will eventually >be part of 4.4.

That's all correct of course, but one other thing to note is that the ForcePCIMode option is broken in various builds (both XFree86.org and ours). That's what prompted me to crack out the proper AGP detection patch a month or so ago. The good news is, that at some point in the future, I hope to fix all these annoying issues for newer Radeon hardware detection, etc. and release updates. The bad news is, I don't know _when_ that will happen. ;o) -- Mike A.
