Notes

Laptops with mobility radeon 9000/9100 IGP (rs300m chipsets based) having to use mesa drivers for a partial 3D acceleration and enabling some things with driconf. Ati don't provide any 3D acceleration for this chipset. *

Wireless works perfectly with ndiswrapper.

"End" key is mapped to "Prior" by default. Can be fixed with: xmodmap -e 'keycode 99 = End'

Firewire works perfectly (tested with Kino).

* This chipset have a good 3d support only with mesa 6.5.2. In Gutsy/Hardy you have to downgrade (follow the guide "How i can have a good 3D acceleration?") r200 modules and some libraries to prevent "GL_Extensions" problems in games like "Quake 3 Arena", "Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory" or "Tremulous"...

How i can have a good 3D acceleration?

Assuming you using Gutsy, go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and download this packages for Feisty:

{{{1) libgl1-mesa-dri (this package contain r200_dri.so module) 2) libgl1-mesa-glx (this package contain libGL.so.1.2 library) 3) libglu1-mesa (this package contain libGLU.so.1.3.060502 library)}}}

Extract these packages, i used "Ark"

Now open a terminal and navigate to "/usr/lib/"

Create a backup of these files:

{{{sudo mv libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so.1.2.backup sudo mv libGLU.so.1.3.070001 libGLU.so.1.3.070001.backup sudo mv libGLU.so.1 libGLU.so.1.backup}}}

Replace these files with those taken from libgl1-mesa-glx/libglu1-mesa packages, example:

{{{sudo mv /home/you/libgl1-mesa-glx/data/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 sudo mv /home/you/libglu1-mesa/data/usr/lib/libGLU.so.1.3.060502 /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1.3.060502...}}}

Now navigate to "/usr/lib/dri/"

Create a backup of this file:

{{{sudo mv r200_dri.so r200_dri.so.backup }}}

Replace it with this taken from libgl1-mesa-dri package, example:

{{{sudo mv /home/you/libgl1-mesa-dri/data/usr/lib/dri/r200_dri.so /usr/lib/dri/r200_dri.so }}}

Now last step, navigate to "/etc/X11/"

Create a backup of xorg.conf:

{{{sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup }}}

Open it with your favourite editor:

{{{sudo/gksu/kdesudo nano/gedit/kate xorg.conf }}}

Make your modifies like this configuration:

# xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Now press ctrl+alt+del to restart X, after this you have 3D acceleration
