ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 Driver?


Hi fellow brothers and sisters

I have a Toshiba Laptop with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650
and can only get it to run on a vesa driver.
I am using PClinuxos latest edition.

I have searched and searched but cannot find an answer to this problem.
Can anyone tell me IF there is a driver for this Video card??

There are two drivers for your card. The open source radeon driver supports 2D and 3D acceleration if the version is new enough. Alternatively, there's also the proprietary driver from AMD: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...5&lang=English

I believe this card is supported by both the radeon driver, also known as the ati driver: http://www.x.org/wiki/radeon AND the proprietary ATI Catalyst Display Driver version 10.4: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...5&lang=English.
