inline: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 support often need proprietary driver. 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. r5xx and r6xx cards are completely unsupported with free drivers.
There's also a proprietary driver from ATI, which is available in non-free.
