Re: [XFree86] ATI Radeon 7500 series on a Red Hat 8.0 workstation
This is a known problem caused by false monitor detection. It happens to the cards that do not follow old BIOS rule. You can expect a patch to 4.3 release for this problem in the coming month. Meanwhile, you can try to use vesa driver. Hui > > I'm having a problem with Xfree86 starting on my workstation. I'm using Red > Hat 8.0 distribution on a white box.

[XFree86] ATI Radeon 7500 series on a Red Hat 8.0 workstation
I'm having a problem with Xfree86 starting on my workstation. I'm using Red Hat 8.0 distribution on a white box. I know some users have had no problems with an ATI Radeon 7500 graphics card working on their Red Hat system right out of the box but for some reason I'm have some problem with it.

It's just the same _symptom_ which could be due to one of many problems. I am _assuming_ that when you say "7.2,7.3&8.0" you refer to versions of the Red Hat distribution? If so then should stick with the included version of XFree86 that comes with Red Hat 8.0. It works for me out of the box with my Radeon 7500. If you want more help: examine your log files, see if you can understand the problem. Do a Google search. Then post on the list asking for help.

There are many, many things that can be wrong with a config file that will prevent the server from starting. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.

I'm having the same problem with my workstation I also have an ATI Radeon and the X server just will not start. I've even installed Xfree86 4.3 today and still no luck.

I have several. What version are you running and why do you believe it does not support the 7500? 4.3 (just out today) does have MUCH improved support for these with many performance enhancements and bug fixes.

I am really wondering.. with X WINDOWS as good as they say it is.How come there isn't any drivers for ATI Radeon 7500? I installed it and now I can't get rid of it becasue it doesn't support that driver. So please have a driver for that someday? Neal
