Video support for slackware linux: Radeon Xpress 1100

I'm using slackware 12.1 and its original configuration could not support the video card. I need to manually install the driver in this case.

Use this to list all hardware in the machine
# lspci

From the results after submitting the above command, use the displayed hardware model number to find the driver online.
The driver can be found at http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html or http://ati.amd/com/support/driver.html
On the website, select Linux ---> Radeon---> Xpress 1300 and d/l the driver.
If the software is not with the website anymore, send me a message and i can send the file to you.

Login as root to install

Type this commanf to list all packages for different distros.
# sh ./ati-driver-installer-8-10-x86.x86-64.run --list pkg

I'm using Slackware so i shall use this command:
# sh ./ati-driverXXX.run --buildpkg Slackware/All
# installpkg <the_file_name_generate _from_buildpkg>
# aticonfig --initial
Restart the X server to see the changes
