ATI 7100 / an old displaycard
Posts: 16
I am assembling a computer for my daughter\s daughters. It will have a new motherboard but I have a working ATI 7100 128 Mb displaycard.
How well will Mepis 6.5 work with it?
What do you think

Looks like the Linux native Radeon driver supports your card
"These Drivers have no official Linux Binaries or Obsolete Binaries"
Does that mean that I must download it "apt-get ati..." or is it ready in the installation? In the computer I'm running now I have Nvidias card and everything works perfectly well from the beginning, already on the livecd stage which is exceptional and great! 
My SimplyMepis 6.5 is from the DVD of Linux Format July 2007.

To tell the truth I have not used the Radeon driver
It is included with Mepis (and other distros)
You may need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root
driver "radeon"
and maybe some other changes as well
you could also try with
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
as root
