Re: Unusual ATI radeon chip ID
What the XFree86 people told you is also correct IF you actually have the hardware the radeon driver was originally designed to drive. If you have a RadeonIGP 320M or 340M, you DO NOT have all the hardware this driver was designed for, and so you can't do hardware acceleration. The real problem is that there is currently no kernel drm support for the ATI agpgart host bridges that these RadeonIGP systems come with. Until ATI ponies up the specifications needed by the kernel developers for the ATI host bridges, things probably won't get better. I don't know if Xig sells proprietary drivers for RadeonIGP, but I doubt it.

Re: Unusual ATI radeon chip ID
Have you actually verified that acceleration is working? Typically you do that by running glxinfo and/or glxgears from the command line under X. If you see messages like 'XFree86-DRI missing' or 'direct rendering: no' under glxinfo, then acceleration is off.

Re: Unusual ATI radeon chip ID
Did you try thinkering with XF86Config options ?
You should be able to specify PCI ID, as noted here :

Re: Unusual ATI radeon chip ID
Most of the problem isn't really XFree86. Versions of XFree86 before 4.3.0 didn't correctly identify some of the Radeon IGP chipset IDs as radeons, but many of us managed to get around those problems by forcing another known Radeon ChipID in the XF86Config Device section. The real problem is that computers (mostly notebooks) with Radeon IGP video systems use host southbridges with ATI agpgart chips for which there is no agpgart/drm support in the kernel. Until ATI starts giving basic documentation about their agpgart setup to kernel drm developers, we're out of luck--at least as far as AGP is concerned.
