General Procedure to get ATI/DRI card running?

[Labitt, Bruce]

Hi David,

I think you sent me an email on howto to convert from one video card to
the other.  I only have found a hard copy.  For some reason, the e-copy
is not to be found - might be on my home machine.

I now have SL5.2 installed.

If I recall correctly one does

#system-config-display --noui --set-driver=radeon_tp

If this for some reason hoses things, how does one recover back to the
baseline Intel mobo graphics?

Thanks,
Bruce

I'm not sure how closely SL follows CentOS/RHEL, but RHEL 5.2 introduced
the 'radeon_tp' driver ("tech preview") with experimental support for
the R500/R600-based cards.
