This is an ATI video adapter

Features

  • Chipset: ATI M66 (may be listed as a M56GL while using radeonhd
  • PCI ID: unknown

Free Drivers

This card is supported by the radeonhd driver and apparently the radeon driver, although I cannot confirm this.

Proprietary ATI driver

As of the Catalyst 8-3 driver this card is supported by fglrx. In previous versions the card was supported although there were serious corruption problems when using direct rendering and widescreen resolutions.

There are still some minor screen corruption problems (ie, the cursor becoming corrupted).

NOTE!
The fglrx driver may cause distortion/corruption of the framebuffer after use at high resolutions, making the text difficult to read.
