[XFree86] ATI Radeon 9700

[Rickard Asplund]

Hi everyone!

I hope someone can give me an answer or maybe help me with this problem.

I dont actually know where to start, but i'll make myself short and give
you some technical facts.

I am running Gentoo linux 1.4 with kernel 2.4.21 on a Dell Dimension 8250.

The problem i have with X is only related to my graphic cards, which is a ATI Radeon 
9700.

First of all X works fine, all my apps works without problem BUT when I am exiting X i 
get this message:

(WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found

I dont know how to get rid of it, and i think this output gives me a clue about why 3D 
HD acc. dont work for me. I've followed the simple steps on the Docs link for enable 
3D HD for X on Gentoo official page:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/dri-howto.xml

Plz help me with enabling 3D hardware for X and getting that No matching Device 
problem away.

Forgive me for my poor English.

Best regards towb

Well 4.3 will ship with XFree86 2D drivers. As for 3D, I don't think so.
You could try hassling ATI for some FreeBSD drivers...I am constantly when I 
have time.

I'm using CVS (X-4.2.99.901) under FreeBSD and my 9700 works okie
...well alittle screen flicker

you are having an i845 (82845) based mainboard chipset
which implements the host bridge and the AGP bridge.

your radeon board got detected by the close source drivers.
dont care about that non-matching secondary device, its "normal".

it seems that the AGP capabilities of your chipset did not 
initialize for some reason. strange. hmm. at least i meant
those 845 series was a "try compatible" case. maybe support
for it was only added after the latest fglrx driver release.

you can surely bring your system up if removing the fglrx
kernel module, but then you will lack hardware accelleation.
a better solution would be to fix the non working AGP support
for the mainboard chipset. 

please see /var/log/messages for more log info on that problem.
the root cause can be anything from an odd bios setup, UMA
design (not in your case) or some MTRR initialisation problem.

-Alex.
