Re: [XFree86] ATI FireGL / IBM RC1000 / GT1000 PCI
But, is the FireGL based on a radeon, or somewhat compatible chipset.. or will it need totally new drivers writing from scratch.. Will the fact that closed source drivers are available from ATI impede efforts by the xfree team to write an opensource driver, even tho only a single architecture is supported.. especially considering these cards are shipped primarily for use in HP PA-RISC workstations.

Re: [XFree86] ATI FireGL / IBM RC1000 / GT1000 PCI
But the driver on the ATI website is x86 only, as i said in the previous mail i`m attempting to use this in an alpha-based machine, since none of the x86 machines available to me have 64bit pci, and moreso they all have components immediately beyond the 32bit slots that prevent a 64bit card from fitting.

[XFree86] ATI FireGL / IBM RC1000 / GT1000 PCI
Hi, Is there, or will there, be any support for the above card... also marketted as FireGL 2 PRO PCI or HP GL-UX.. Linux detects it as: Bus 0, device 11, function 0: VGA compatible controller: PCI device 1014:0170 (IBM) (rev 2). IRQ 28. Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=255.Max Lat=255. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xa58 [0xa59]. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xc00 [0xfff]. It is aparrently manufactured by ATI, uses an IBM chipset.. and is supplied on a 64bit pci card, a picture (890kb) is available at http://www.ev6.net/card.jpg I hear conflicting things, some people tell me this card is Radeon based/compatible, but the current CVS XF86 doesnt detect it as such, would it work if it recognised the PCI ID as a radeon card? or is it just not compatible atall? The ATI-supplied binary drivers should aparrently support this card, but the only machine i have which will take this card atall is an Alpha, and thus wont run the x86 binaries supplied by ATI. ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
