Portal/IDB/logo_portal.png Welcome on Debian graphics card

Portal/IDB/icon-xvideo-32x32.png This article talk about graphics card installations. Installation can use two stages which are driver installation and device configuration. Sometimes, videocards are detected automatically (native support) but 3D acceleration support often need proprietary driver.

This part shows a list of hardware ordered by manufacturer. The full list of all chipsets can be found on Wikipedia: chipset documentation page. If you don't know your graphic card visit hardware identification page to identify your card.

Technical words can be used but explained.

ATI

The free driver from X.org in Etch supports cards with r1xx to r2xx chipsets with 2D and 3D support. 3D support for r3xx and r4xx is still labeled as experimental and has been reverse-engineered.

The radeonhd driver supports video cards based on:

  • R500 style hardware: R5xx, RV5xx, RS6xx, RS740, M52 and up
  • R600 style hardware: R6xx, RV6xx, RS780, M64 and up
  • R700 style hardware: RV7xx

See supported chipsets in radeonhd git HEAD for up to date detail information - http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd/plain/README

There's also a proprietary driver from ATI, which is available in non-free.
