132.181.210.179:

== Screen Rotation ==
On Catalyst 8.9 and later ATI drivers now support RandR rotation. After configuring your ati card as usual enter the following command:
<pre>
aticonfig --set-pcs-str="DDX,EnableRandr12,TRUE"
</pre>

Then restart X11. Your xrandr should work.

2010-10-27: xrandr works on my Mobility Radeon HD 5730 with Catalyst 10.9 driver without needing to run the command above. I just tried <pre>xrandr --orientation left</pre> and the screen rotated onto its side.

Note: Using this command on a Radeon Xpress 200M made Xorg unable to start with some weird error in the amdxmm module. Using this command with FALSE instead of TRUE helped afterward.
Note: I also had a problem with that option with a 4850, I couldn't get Xorg to start after setting that option.

Q: Is rotation hardware accelerated? How does performance compare to non-rotated?

== Open Source Drivers ==

ATI Radeon cards 8500,9000,9200 and 9250 working with [[open source drivers]] provide OpenGL 3D graphics acceleration.

== Proprietary Drivers ==

Proprietary drivers can be used instead, if so desired, although it is not necessary to use these for the cards listed above.

==2D==
===X server===
*XFree86 and X.org support
====Xaa====
*X Acceleration Architecture
====Xv====
* One Hardware or OpenGL overlay

===TV Out===
*NTSC and PAL support

==TV In==
*No support for the built in tuner in "All-in-Wonder" cards.

==3D==
===OpenGL===
*Provides some OpenGL 2.0 commands
BUT NOT
the OpenGL 2.0 version of the shading language.

The ATI driver uses a version of the shading language called
the ARB extension. The ARB extension was used before
OpenGL 2.0 was finished.
