Linux with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600
 

Does anyone have experience with Linux on a notebook that has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 GPU?

It looks like no driver is available for it yet, but I think it may be coming soon.

The driver is available, see: http://www.digg.com/linux_unix/ATI_8...river_Released

Actually that's not correct. It looks like the 8.40.4 is the only way to go for the Mobility HD 2600 at this time, as the 8.41.7 driver does not support Mobility GPUs.

"Caution: The AMD Proprietary Linux driver version 8.41.7 is not recommended for the ATI Mobility and Integrated Products. Using this driver on any of the following products may result in stability issues. AMD recommends using the AMD Proprietary Linux software driver version 8.40.4."

Apparently a newer and more functional version of their driver will be released soon that will support the Mobility GPUs, and hopefully add missing 3D features.

Wow!
 

I can't seem to find them on the ATI site while looking there, but I was able to find a link to the file on others.

Thanks for the big heads up! :)

Here's the link for anyone interested to the new ATI 8.41.7 GPU driver with AIGLX support!
