I'm having a problem trying to launch Linux from a live media in this system:
ASUS A7S8X-MX, AMD Sempron 2200+, Radeon 9250, 2GB RAM.
The problem is most probably the old Radeon card.
The machine's graphics card is listed as unsupported by the most recent proprietary drivers and I can find many ways to install the drivers from within an OS interface by googling, bu that's not what I need now.
I would like to bundle the right drivers in a live image.
To do so I read that some modifications have to be done to the Linux kernel.
Before proceeding I'd like to ask:
1) are the ATI open source drivers even supposed to work from a live image?
2) is there any method to add drivers to a live image of any given Linux distribution that is quicker then modifying the Linux kernel?
3) how can I check an existing kernel to determine if some drivers are already present so that I may know the problem is elsewhere?
Thanks
