I'm curious if anyone has attempted to get an R300 card working with the r200 driver? :-)
I was fooling around today with a clean install of FreeBSD, and thought I'd give it a try. I added the device ID for my radeon 9800 to the radeon_drv.c file, and recompiled the radeon kernel module. It loads fine... I modified my XF86Config-4 file and set the ChipID in my Device section to "0x4242" (Radeon 8500 of some sort). X starts, and the following shows up in my X log file: (II) RADEON(0): [drm] created "radeon" driver at busid "PCI:1:0:0" (II) RADEON(0): [drm] added 8192 byte SAREA at 0xd59ad000 (II) RADEON(0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0xd59ad000 to 0x28276000 (II) RADEON(0): [drm] framebuffer handle = 0xc8000000 (II) RADEON(0): [drm] added 1 reserved context for kernel (II) RADEON(0): [agp] Mode 0x1f000207 [AGP 0x0000/0x0000; Card 0x1002/0x4e48] (II) RADEON(0): [agp] 131072 kB allocated with handle 0xc1602f18 (II) RADEON(0): [agp] ring handle = 0xc0000000 (II) RADEON(0): [agp] Ring mapped at 0x30400000 (II) RADEON(0): [agp] ring read ptr handle = 0xc0101000 (II) RADEON(0): [agp] Ring read ptr mapped at 0x28273000 (II) RADEON(0): [agp] vertex/indirect buffers handle = 0xc0102000 (II) RADEON(0): [agp] Vertex/indirect buffers mapped at 0x30501000 (II) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP texture map handle = 0xc0302000 (II) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP Texture map mapped at 0x30701000 (II) RADEON(0): [drm] register handle = 0xd8020000 (II) RADEON(0): [dri] Visual configs initialized ...

It just blanks. The machine doesn't lock up, as I can still ssh in, so that may just be something easily fixed (I haven't messed around with it since then). Is this worth pursuing? Can anyone definatively say nothing positive is going to come from this? Adam ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The SF.net Donation Program.
