>This HOWTO is for anyone who owns an ATI Radeon 8xxx graphics card and wants it to
function in a certain way or, in general, properly with XFree86, the X Window System.
It describes the procedure of making XFree 4.x run on an ATI R200
(Radeon 8xxx series). There are several ways of doing this, with various
results (further described below). If you know of any other ways (maybe
better as well) of achieving the goal of this document, please let me know.</P
