Description: This product is fairly well supported by both the DRI and the FGLRX drivers. However, the DRI drivers are notably superior and don't cause memory leaks as the FGLRX do. I recommend that you use DRI instead of FGLRX.

Problems with FGLRX:
*Memory leaks
--GL_SGIS_generate_mipmap leak (this is fixed by Septor: http://rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33805259)
--Fairly prone to freezes
--Bad rendering

How to install DRI:
**Compile kernel with:
Loadable Modules support
>*Enable Module Loading
-->*Enable Module unloading
Device Drivers
>Character Devices
-->*/dev/agpgart support
----->*Intel 440LX...
----->*Intel i865...
----->*ATI chipset
-->*Direct Rendering Manager
----->*ATI Radeon
>Graphics support
-->*ATi Radeon (NEW) (don't check the old driver.... you won't need it)

**Compile [CVS] Mesa... freedesktop.org, mesa3d.sf.net
**Compile [CVS] Xorg... freedesktop.org, x.org
**Do xorgconfig
.... follow along with all the options
Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
In Modules section add
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
Here is how a device section should look:
Section "Device"
Identifier "radeon"
Driver "radeon"
VideoRam 65536
ChipId 0x514D
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection

Add the following section at the end:
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection

startx and you should me ready.
