Pour ceux qui cherchent des portables sans OS (et compatibles Linux)

 
l'installation du dri te permet de compiler un driver radeon. Mais attention, la version daily cvs sur leur site est parfois bugguée à mort : la version du 5 juillet faisait un hard boot. Si tu arrives à l'installer, préviens-moi stp.

 
cool ca, merci pour l'info
 
 
Sinon je viens de trouver ca aussi (Belgique)

Non c'est du libre, la partie 2D c'est XFree et la 3D c'est DRI (dri.sourceforge.net)
ATi a sorti des drivers proprio, mais seulement pour FireGL8800, qui peuvent être utilisés pour la R8500 (même chip R200), mais pas la 7500. Et DRI vient tout juste de sortir la premiere release instable de drivers libres pour la 8500, d'ailleurs.

 
Mais bien sûr ! Par contre, je n'avais pas vu ton topic.
Tu peux trouver une mine d'information sur les laptops avec Linux sur : http://www.linux-laptop.net/ (attention, il y a d'autres adresses qui se ressemblent, mais ce sont des vendeurs !) et sur http://lhd.zdnet.com
 
Pour ma config, ca s'est passe impeccable avec la mandrake 8.2 et la cooker. Le driver est celui de la radeon (radeon.o), XFree86 est la 4.2.0, et le dri est activé (accélération 3D) et tout et tout. Voila le XF86Config qu'il a généré. Bon courage et tiens moi au courant.
