Does anyone know where I can find this? I had a look on the ATI site but no luck...

as far as i'm aware, it doesn't exist. they are slowly working on drivers for their cards tho', but for now you probably have to make do with linux's generic video driver(no opengl i'm afraid).

I've done this and there is nothing. I have an Acer laptop and they just don't do them

is a list of supported cards for the latest linux driver, unfortunately they name almost every mobility card EXCEPT yours!

Well...ATI just sucks with drivers on Linux, even worse on Linux laptops, so all you really do is wait for them or for someone to make some other drivers

Or you could hack em up yourself

i got full 3D support with my radeon 9800 last night after trying out your link...cheers!

Well ATI don't make laptop drivers full stop according to ATI when I contacted them about my X600 mobility so I went to Dell and they gave me an upgraded bios driver that will allow ati's linux drivers to work. I just have to do it now.
