Re: Re: Radeon X1600?
Hi, AFAIK there is not linux driver for X1600 (fglrx doesn't support this card too). This card is nearly useless under linux for now.

I ask because my ibook g3 is getting a bit long in the tooth, and since my non-x86 options for laptops are fast approaching 0, I'm looking for a turion notebook with a supported chipset. I'm debating about going cheaper with a radeon 200M (which i think has an undocumented memory controller and thus doesn't work even though it's an r300 core?), or the MSI-1029 with an X700 (which is supported by r300, right?). But, the 1029 is about to be replaced with the 1039 which comes with the new X1600, so I'd like to know if I have to move before the 1029 disappears, or if i can wait a little while. Both xpress 200m and x700 should at least work for 2d, and the x700 hopefully for 3d too (some people still don't have luck with them it seems). There is not much hope of getting the X1xxx chips to work anytime soon, even for 2d, as they are believed to be much different (especially as far as modesetting/2d is concerned, radeon 7200 to radeon x850 are nearly identical there). You can always use vesa driver, which of course totally sucks, and there's a high probability you couldn't even use the display's native resolution with that. Fglrx should support it at some point, but an ATI employee stated it will take a couple of driver revisions, which I interpret as something up to half a year.

This bug has been present for more than 2 years now. Blender is unusable on DRI/G400 (FreeBSD and Linux) because of it. Disabling hardware accelleration is not an option because the program becomes very slow. Its very bad that this hasnt been fixed yet, especially because g400 is a well documented card and often brought up in the open source vs closed 3d drivers arguments. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

It's unfortunate, but it's what I honestly expected. Looks like I'll either have to go suck it up and buy an x700 notebook before they disappear, or gamble with a 200m and hope we can figure out the memory controller (and memory management that goes with it). john.c -- John Clemens http://www.deater.net/john john at deater.net I Hate Quotes -- Samuel L.

Re: Radeon X1600?
Actually, I've been having trouble with my Xpress 200M locking up in 2D mode. I'm still trying to determine what the cause of the lockup is. If you're looking for something supported by other than the fglrx driver, I would steer clear of the 200M for a while.

Xpress 200M + Thunderbird = GPF
Hey all, After a message from this list telling me that turning color tiling off was the key to avoiding lockups on the r300 driver, I tried it and was delighted to find that it worked. Well, mostly. Using Thunderbird causes my kernel to oops with a general protection fault. It appears to be the *only* program on my system that causes the problem. No errors are reported in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log; all I get (if anything) is a kernel oops that sometimes hard-locks my system, sometimes doesn't. How can I go about debugging this problem? --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
