X fails after upgrade to xorg-7.2; FreeBSD AMD64 w/ Radeon 9600 Pro[SOLVED]
This is weird, but the fix for my system (thanks Albert) is to force the AGP to PCI bus by setting the appropriate (or maybe inappropriate:-) option in the Device section of my xorg.conf, i.e: Section "Device" Option "BusType" "PCI" Identifier "Card0" Driver "radeon" VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" BoardName "RV350 AP [Radeon 9600]" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Haven't tried to play video clips yet, but dragging an xterm around the on desktop (xfce4) is very smooth now.

Thanks for the tip. I'm just now getting back to this issue after installing 6.2 Stable AMD64 on a newly acquired hard drive. And I have the above drm lines in my kernel, but the display still goes blank when I startx. Some small headway: The problem with the display (which is now a SyncMaster 940t connected to the Radeon 9600 Pro DVI out) being driven out of range (I assume) and going blank was solved by setting the option NoAccel in the device section of my xorg.conf file. I've also tired both the "ati" and "radeon" drivers, and both give identical results. With acceleration disabled image tearing is bad, jumpy really, that is when one is dragging an X-term around on the desktop (xfce4.) But at least I've got a workable display now. I've been trying several and varied radeon driver "option" settings / combinations to see if I can get a viewable display with acceleration, but no luck yet. Maybe someone using the Radeon 9600 Pro [RV350 AP] video card with a similar TFT flatpanel will chime in with their experiences and / or workable settings.

I managed to get things working again after several days of trying a number of things including portupgrade -f -a (which I needed to do anyway...). I'm not sure this is a real fix, but X now works after I used xorgconfig to generat an /etc/X11/xorg.conf. startx works like a charm. The startup was perhaps five seconds slower than I'm accustomed. Otherwise, ctl-alt-F1 gets me to a console and ctl-alf-F9 takes me back to X. Back to normal. Before using xorgconfig, X -configure generated an xorg.conf that gave me a black screen from which only a reboot could recover. > [...] > Xorg -configure no longer reports the "undefind symbol" > but I still get a black screen when testing the config, > with "out of range OSD when using a VGA to monitor cable, and > just a black screen (no OSD message) with the DVI cable. > Tried a second monitor also, same results.

Good luck for the reinstall! One thing that *might* make a difference could be the drm stuff. I have it built into my kernel, you might be (auto)loading it as modules. Relevant lines from my kernel config: device radeondrm device drm Could be worth trying, if you don't already have it. -- Andy Fawcett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] "In an open world without walls and fences, | [EMAIL PROTECTED] we wouldn't need Windows and Gates." -- anon | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I did a make deinstall / reinstall of both xorg-7.2 and xorg-drivers-7.2. Xorg -configure no longer reports the "undefind symbol" but I still get a black screen when testing the config, with "out of range OSD when using a VGA to monitor cable, and just a black screen (no OSD message) with the DVI cable. Tried a second monitor also, same results. And under these conditions I can't Alt F2 etc. to console, but must hit the "reset" for a dirty reboot. Xorg -configure now reports: (++) Using config file: "/root/xorg.conf.new" (WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found (**) RADEON(0): RADEONPreInit Manually doing the config by running xorgcfg -textmode gives a different BusID in the xorg.conf file --> BusID PCI:1:0:0 Andy's xorg.conf is identical to mine, except for the Horz / Vert monitor scan frequencies of course. And I've tried the vesa driver with the same blank / black screen results. I'm also getting a sporadic "stray irq7" kernel message from time to time. Something weird is going on, huh? Booted Knoppix-Live and it runs just fine. Copied its xorg.conf detected mode lines into FreeBSD xorg.conf but still no luck. Thanks Andy, Mark for your help. But it looks like it is time for plan #2; Reinstall from scratch but no X, cvsup ports to latest and then do a fresh install of xorg-7.2. Maybe this weekend's project...

I'm running the same board (Neo2-F) and card (9600) versions on amd64 at home, but with a CRT. When I get home this evening I will mail my xorg.conf to Byron directly to see if it helps.
