Re: Detecting ATI Radeon 7500 (PCI version)

I had a similar situation with a PCI Radeon 7000 and a onboard rage video 
solution.  You do have to disable the onboard, or atleast I did, but you 
should also be aware that PCI Radeon adapters are not as well support by 
xfree as agp adapters.

In my case I had to specify the following lines in the device section of my 
XF86Config.

	Option	"ForcePCIMode" "true"
	option	"nodri"

This got my card working with 2D acceloration but only software acceleration 
for 3D.
