I am running 'woody' with the 4.1.0-16woody1 version of XFree86 on a fairly new Dell with a "ATI Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500]" video controller.
For some reason, the board isn't being recognized when I 'startx'. In particular, this: (II) ATI unknown chipset (0x5157) and this: (WW) ATI: PCI/AGP Mach64 in slot 1:0:0 could not be detected show up in the XFree86 log. My screen finally returns to "text mode" with a message something like, "No device found". Doing some investigation, it appears that the video device *is* supported under 4.1.0 as shown at: http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/Status6.html#6 and http://www.linuxforum.com/linux-hardware/video.html Though I couldn't find a driver that looked useful using 'modconf', I manually 'modprobe'd /lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.o but it still produced the same behavior. Any help/ideas/suggestions will be *most* appreciated. -- Prof Kenneth H Jacker [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computer Science Dept www.cs.appstate.edu/~khj Appalachian State Univ Boone, NC 28608 USA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
