RE: [Dri-users] ATI FireGL 8700

[Alexander S. <Ale...@at...>]

`man XF86Config`
     ChipID  id
              This  optional entry specifies a numerical ID representing the
chip
              type.  For PCI cards, it is usually the device  ID.   This
can  be
              used  to  override the auto-detection, but that should only be
done
              when the driver-specific documentation recommends it.

in other words:
  Section "Device"
  [...]
      ChipID 0x514C    # pretend that the card is an ATI Radeon 8500 QL
(AGP)
  [...]
  EndSection

i am nearly quoting this from a yahoo search result
which pointed me to http://www.linux-stuff.de/XF86Config

>> Ati's fgrl200 driver works but it doesn't support xvideo.

Due to the company policy I am not allowed to comment 
on any sort of unreleased driver, component or product.

I hope the above suggestion does serve your needs today.
