ATI Driver to old?

Hi again all

Ive been trying for a while now getting the ATI driver up and running with all my slitaz boxes 1 uses ATI Radeon HD2400xt and the other uses ATI Radeon HD5470

Installed the needed firmware, driver, mesa etc.

With Radeon HD2400xt i have to set vga=791 and nomodeset that seems to atleast

start up in correct display mode

With Radeon HD5470 i dont have to alter anything it boots up correct

however, when trying to start a game called Regnum online (mmorpg) it fails

it says it doesnt support my display card or driver is to old.

Iguess the problem is to old driver, now how im suppose to sort this out im not sure

But i would be glad if someone that has an ATI Radeon on their slitaz computer

could try this game out and see if they manage to start it up properly (Fails after loging to game when it tries to startup) - For if it works for you iknow i just need

to try and doing a deeper fault search!

game link:

a working login)

Re: ATI Driver to old?

I presume you are using radeonhd driver (xorg-xf86-video-radeonhd) and not the ati driver? Most likely you are but thought of asking the question anyway....
