+ framebuffer driver for ATI Radeon chipset video boards
+ ======================================================
+
These files are replacement for linux-2.4.x-ac.y drivers.
To use this driver you should have at least linux-2.4.5-ac.1
then simply replace linux/drivers/video/radeon* with files
from this directory.
+Alternative way:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Simply type 'make' command in this directory then copy results ( *.o files ) to:
+/lib/modules/$(LINUX_VER)/kernel/drivers/video
+directory.
+Don't forget about:
+depmod -a
+
+Anyway you should have 'Frame buffer support' compiled into linux-kernel
+and at least '8bpp packed pixel support' compiled and installed as module.
+(But if you plan to use this module with mplayer you also should have
+16bpp, 24bpp and 32bpp pixel support compiled as modules).
+
