Hello all,
I have a ATI xpress200M in my new HP laptop. Chipset is 5955. I have
not had any luck with drivers, dri/drm. I would rather go the open
source route rather than binary ATI. I was hoping to use the radeon
driver and drm from this project.
Now after downloading from cvs, I was able to compile, and load both
the drm and radeon kernel modules. However they did not see my card as
before. So I figured it could be as simple as PCI ID not existing or etc
in the driver. Sure enough that was the case. Not enough to get it
working but enough to get the card recognized on module load.
It seems to work I get drm/dri and etc. A device that works
in /dev/dri/card0, etc. However just as with the fglrx kernel module and
corresponding module for X. I get the same results when dri/drm I
enabled. Blank screen, a X process that I can't kill and have to restart
box via ssh, or power button.
I added to shared-core/drm_pciids.txt
0x1002 0x5955 CHIP_RS400|CHIP_IS_IGP|CHIP_IS_MOBILITY "ATI Technologies Inc ATI
Radeon XPRESS 200M"
And then to linux-core/drm_pciids.h
{0x1002, 0x5955, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0,
CHIP_RS400|CHIP_IS_IGP|CHIP_IS_MOBILITY}, \
With that I get in dmesg
[drm] Initialized drm 1.0.1 20051102
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:05.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 21
[drm] Initialized radeon 1.24.0 20060225 on minor 0:
[drm] Setting GART location based on new memory map
[drm] Loading R300 Microcode
[drm] writeback test succeeded in 1 usecs
The stuff in X's log also looks promising. But the non-functional blank
display requiring reboot to reset is not ;)
Anyway thought I would drop a note. If there is anything i can do to
test, contribute, or help develop the driver enough to support my
chipset, please let me know.
