Hi,
I'm struggling to get my graphics card to work with what I think should work
with the right driver:
I ran /usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure
and replaced /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the generated file.
The relevant section of xorg.conf displays:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "radeon"
VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc"
BoardName "Radeon HD 2400 XT"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Which I would say makes sense: after all, the scanpci reports
pci bus 0x0001 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x1002 device 0x94c8
ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 2400 XT
CardVendor 0x1025 card 0x011a (Acer Incorporated [ALI], Card unknown)
STATUS 0x0010 COMMAND 0x0047
CLASS 0x03 0x00 0x00 REVISION 0x00
BIST 0x00 HEADER 0x00 LATENCY 0x00 CACHE 0x10
BASE0 0xf0000008 addr 0xf0000000 MEM PREFETCHABLE
BASE1 0x00002001 addr 0x00002000 I/O
BASE2 0xfc000000 addr 0xfc000000 MEM
MAX_LAT 0x00 MIN_GNT 0x00 INT_PIN 0x01 INT_LINE 0x07
in fact, there's even a sticker on the laptop mentioning it's infact that card.
However, if I run a "modinfo", all I see is the vgatext driver loaded. (I
noticed that with nvidia cards, modinfo would show the nvidia driver).
# modinfo | egrep 'nv|vga|rad'
86 fffffffff7b05000 47a8 99 1 vgatext (VGA text driver v1.38)
214 fffffffff7c670a8 b820 - 1 amsrc2 (Audio Sample Rate Conv. #2 1.3)
217 fffffffff7f9b000 720178 54 1 nvidia (nvidia %I% May 23 2008 11:26:48)
The output actually shows the nvidia driver loaded, but *not* the radeon or
radeonhd driver, which is what I would expect.
What's going on here?
