Radeon 7500 PCI


I found a link on the ATI website that poited me here http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ I've red over the page but i have no idea how to compile for CVS or what ever. ALso is there a .rpm for this that would work with my fedora core 5 instilation? and last of all has anyone had any luck with this?

P.S. and as the title says my ATI card is a radeon 7500 PCI

On an unrelated note I have a machine with a Nvida VANTA LT in it and i was wonderig if Nvidia's drivers supported this card.... thanx for al help

this tutorial is for the fglrx drivers. These do not work with any radeonbs below the 8500. So they will not work for me. Also there for an AGP car and I have a PCI
