radeon7000 3d drivers?
 

I want to fix out an older pc, I'm looking for and cannot find 3d drivers for the radeon 7000 under linux. Will any one of the newer radeon drivers work?

3d for the 1st gen. radeons have been supported by DRI since XFree-4.1.0.
That being said, you're still better off with the latest as there's always a chance product id# have changed and older XFree wouldn't recognize newer cards.

If your distro doesn't pick it up and set it up during install [...Mdk used to, last I used was 8.2] a quick edit of the XF86config-4 should set you up, no matter what.
Just make sure you have,
Load "dri"
Load "glx"
...in section "Modules"
and use
Driver "radeon"
...in section "Device"

Also make sure you have the following,
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
...to allow your users access.

...other steps might be required for pci versions though.
