Hello.

You can use dri with your 7500?

Yes. And it works really great until either locks up the system or gets killed by an Oops.

Same processor as 8500 cards?

No idea.

If so, which X sources are you using?

Mine works with 4.2.0's DRI, with latest DRI from dri.sourceforge.net and with an alternative drivers from gatos.sourceforge.net. They all locks my system probably due to an AMD Irongate.

I bought an 8500 Evil Master II specifically because I saw Radeon
support in the kernel and X source. Much to my chagrin, I can't use dri because the source (4.2.0) says dri is not yet implimented for that processor.

I was also confused by the fact that 7500 support doesn't exist in 4.1.0, but 4.2.0 really supports it.
Anyway, visit gatos.sourceforge.net and try the drivers from there.
