[lug] ATI Radeon Video Card

[Ed Hill]

Hi Fred,

I have two machines here in our lab running linux (one with RH 7.1 and
one with 7.2) and both have Radeon cards.  One is a Radeon VE and the
other is a Radeon 7500.  XFree version 4.1.0 that ships with RH 7.2
seems to work just fine (auto-detected and auto-configured without a
hitch) with both cards.

If you'd like, I can burn you a copy of RH 7.2.

hth,
Ed
