Ati Radeon X800 AGP

My model is X800 XL VIVO AGP with 256MB DDR3. It has 1xDVI, 1xVGA and 1xS-Video connector.

Additional power connector must be used, without it you don`t get 3D acceleration.

Card is OEM and came to me only with power cable.

Works with Standard UI1 and UI2 with Overlay using fglrx driver version Catalyst 7.12 (8.44.3).

For smooth video enable video overlay in your device section in xorg.conf (my config below).

Section "Device"
       Identifier      "ATI Technologies Inc R430 [Radeon X800]"
       Driver          "fglrx"
       BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
       Option      "UseInternalAGPGART" "off"
       Option      "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
       Option      "VideoOverlay" "on"
       Option      "EnableMonitor" "tmds1,none"
EndSection

Also add

Section "ServerFlags"
       Option  "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
       Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

without this you can encouter display problems.

If you managed to configure your card properly, kernel module is loaded and you choose UI2 in AVWizard then you will see something like...
