I have a Radeon Mobility 7500[M7 LW] in my laptop. The DRI radeon
driver functions rather well, however there are a few issues with
OpenGL. Is this driver missing functionality? Some OpenGL based games
I try just do not work. For example, I tried the Linux Savage demo, and
the screen is all garbled. However, I am able to play this game under
FC1 using an NVidia card with NVidia's driver. I also tried to play
Americas Army, and I have the same issue with it working great under my
FC1/Nvidia box, but not working under my FC1/Radeon 7500. Some games do
work though. I am able to play Enemy Territory and Return to Castle
Wolfenstein just fine with the FC1/Radeon 7500 as well as the FC1/Nvidia
setup. The binary drivers from ATI say they do not support this card
and since the Radeon is in a laptop, I am stuck with it :(

The box said: "Requires Windows 98/2000/NT/XP or better."
So, I installed LINUX!
