Hello. Many of these steps seem out of date. Has anybody tried this with Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy? If so, can you post the steps you took? (for instance, I'm not able to compile the latest kernel headers because the version supplied here cannot be found)
Best regards,

Hello.
With the debs gets a lot easier.
Kernel modules (deb-Packages) for Ubuntu Hardy.
(-generic and -rt kernel)
To install add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://www.bakarasse.de/linux/ubuntu/hardy /
and run:
apt-get update
Install for generic kernel:
apt-get install linux-ati-mach64-drm-modules-generic
...for Real time kernel:
apt-get install linux-ati-mach64-drm-modules-rt
Dont forget, max Display Depth must be set in xorg.conf to 16 bit.
Best regards,
Alex

Hi, I'd tried everything on Xubuntu Hardy, compiling modules (git method), installing packages from repos, using an script for install modules automatically, playing with xorg.conf with many options, and nothing worked.
I obtain these from
Code:glxinfo | grep render direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Mach64 [Rage Pro] 20051019 x86/MMX/SSE
and this from
Mi Laptop is a Compaq Armada E500 with a Ati Rage Mobility 8MBCode:lsmod | grep mach64 mach64 44800 2 drm 154792 3 mach64
Please Help!!
this is my xorg.conf

Hey this is probably a stupid question, but will this patch allow the 3D desktop(Beryl/Compiz) to work(even slowly)?
I would like to have it just to show how awesome linux is on an old laptop(Armada m700)
my card is an ATi Rage Mobility P/M1(it says "Ati Rage P" on the chip itself) 8mb AGP. and is running on a 440bx chhipset with a coppermine PentiumIII and 512ram.
