[newbie] ATI Radeon 9000Pro
Hey Gang, I've been running into a wierd bug with XFree86, and I was looking for some suggestions or ideas on what I can do about it. First, I'm running Mandrake 10.0 CE on an Asus P4S800, with a P-4 2.80 E CPU ( 1 MB of onboard cache ), 512 MB's of DDR400 Ram, and an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro AGP Video card with 64 MB's of ram. I have 2 different kernels (2.6.3 Stock kernel from 10.0 CE as well as the 2.6.3-7 kernel) both of which run 100% perfect on this system, and XFree86 4.3-30 handles the video. Here's the down-side. I can't run the Radeon in 3D Accelerated mode. If I try to select the XFree86 with 3D Acceleration, the system immediately freezes with a kernel lock. I can't open a new terminal to run a shutdown or reboot, the system isn't available across my network, and XFree86 never times out from the test sequence. Am I missing something here? XFree86 states that it's using the default fglrx radeon driver module that came with CE, and when I run the GLX-Gears test, these are my results; 1789 frames in 5.0 seconds = 357.800 FPS 2000 frames in 5.0 seconds = 400.000 FPS 1840 frames in 5.0 seconds = 368.000 FPS 1840 frames in 5.0 seconds = 368.000 FPS 1840 frames in 5.0 seconds = 368.000 FPS 1920 frames in 5.0 seconds = 384.000 FPS 1840 frames in 5.0 seconds = 368.000 FPS 1840 frames in 5.0 seconds = 368.000 FPS But it also states that I'm missing another component; Xlib: extension XFree86-DRI missing on display :0.0. Is this included in 10.0 CE or do I need the retail version? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, unless they have to do with installing Windows! Grin!

I only mention it because I had a hell of a time getting it installed on 9.2, before I realised it was a simple 'urpmi' a couple of config changes away... http://rpms.mandrakeclub.com/rpms/MandrakeClub/comm/10.0/i586/System_Kernel_and_hardware.html Good luck!

Re: [newbie-it] Radeon 9000pro
sapete se esiste una versione dei driver ati per xfree86 vers. 4.2.1? sono riuscito a trovare solo i driver x xfree v. 4.2.0 in formato rpm che ovviamente non mi funzionano avendo l'xfree 4.2.1 (su mandrake 9). c'e' qualche soluzione al problema? Xfree supporta già di suo le scede Ati; che problemi hai? beh, non è proorio così. io ho lo stesso problema: ho una ATI Radeon 9000 (non pro) ma Mdk la vede come semplice VESA. Se si tenta di utilizzare un'altra scheda, tipo Radeon, o simili, nulla di fatto: dà un errore (non ricordo quale adesso) e devi tornare alla vesa altrimenti il OS non parte. infatti e' proprio cosi' anchio sto usando il vesa ma ho il problema del refresh verticale, che e' impostato sul valore di 60 vorrei portarlo a 85 in modo da non affaticare la vista, ma non mi riesce in nessun modo hai anche tu lo stesso problema? sai come risolverlo? = Luigi Beltramini [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://digilander.iol.it/citazioni
