radeonhd - the X.org X11 driver for AMD GPG r5xx/r6xx chipsets
==============================================================
radeonhd is the X.org X11 driver for AMD GPG (ATI) r5xx/r6xx chipsets.
Main development is driven by Novell at the time of writing, in close
relationship to AMD which provides free documentation for the chipsets.
More detailed notes about
* supported chipsets (replicated below)
* radeonhd driver options
* troubleshooting
are available in the included radeonhd(4) man page.
Further information about
* known radeonhd bugs & limitations
* frequently asked questions (FAQ)
* how to configure RandR
* configuration examples
is available on the wiki at http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd
