I recently purchased a system with an ATI Radeon and added Redhat 7.0 as
dual boot. Installed X had no drivers for ATI Radeon. ATI says go to
XFree86. XFree86 site says in release 4.0.2 summary that it contains new
Radeon drivers. Downloaded and upgraded, but it still doesn't show up in
video card list. Am I doing something wrong?

I've had the exact same experience. If you figure it out please let me
know.

It is supported... Trying running:

XFree86 -configure

from the command line... This should produce a rough working copy
of an XF86Config file. You might need to make some modifications to it,
but this will at least get you started.

XFree86 -configure does make the Radeon choice appear... The old command
xf86config (or whatever the heck it is) does not show the Radeon
choice... I am running Mandrake 8.0 Beta (which has XFree86 4.0.2 as part
of the distribution) but I still cannot get X to start w/ my AIW
Radeon... Says something about "screens" not being configured
properly... Unfortunately I don't know how to configure "screens" yet...
Any suggestions..?

What do you mean it makes the Radeon choice appear? XFree86 -configure
isn't supposed to give you any choices. It's supposed to create an
outline of an XF86Config file based on the video card(s) it detects in
your computer.

If you are running the ATI Radeon VE (dual monitor edition), it is not
supported by XFree86 yet.
I have the same problem. Accellerated X expects to have this driver
available soon, and it seems no one else is working on it.

Accellerated-X can be found at http://www.xig.com

I'm waiting too. I like the card, and Linux is better than Windoze. I may
have to return the card, because I don't rely on vaporware.
