Haven't gotten the 3D working yet, but working on that presently. Should have all running shortly I am hoping and everything happy with the new 9200 card. Can't comment on the older drivers as i did not use those prior to this. Am looking forward to having XFree86 running with it too, which I am hoping to see either by me building it or in the next version of SuSE.

Hi Patrick, Unfortunately, Radeon 9200 support is not included in the base XFree86 4.3.0 distribution. Adding it on is a job for various distributors - Debian and Red Hat add it on, but apparently SuSE haven't. I think your best bet would be to contact your distributor directly and ask them to include Hui Yu's Radeon patchset; if they don't know where to get it, point them at me.

RE: [XFree86] Radeon 9200 SE support?
Thank you for your reply, I've unsuccessfully tried the binary RPMs for RedHat (I use RedHat 9.0) that are available from the ATI website and according to ATI; they support the Radeon 9200 (although there is nothing on the site that mentions the SE edition). As far as I've heard, the SE edition is supposed to be compatible w/ the standard 9200 (maybe it's just an identification problem?). Does anyone have more information on this?

Re: [XFree86] Radeon 9200 SE support?
I also just bought such a video card, and I ran into the same problems as you have. The latest release version of XFree86 (v4.3.0) doesn't support this card, but as of development snapshot 4.3.99.8 (i.e., also in the latest CVS sources) there is support for it. I managed to download and build the mentioned snapshot and to install it on top of the XFree86 installation provided by my SuSE 8.2 system. So now I have the XFree86 ati radeon driver installed and working, but there's still a problem with the DVI output of my card, which is what I'm interested in. The problem is currently being worked on (http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=673). If you're happy with the analog RGB output the solution I've mentioned works just fine. If you want DVI output from your card, it would be interesting to know if XFree86 v4.3.99.x works for you, or if you get the same problem as me.

Re: [XFree86] Radeon 9200: can't get DVI working
I am having exactly this problem with a Radeon 7500 card (OEM = PowerColor) -- as an added complication it appears to be vary with the digital monitor attached. I can get output from XFree to the DVI port when a (borrowed) Sony XDM-72 monitor is attached, but not when my Apple Studio Display 17" LCD is attached. The Apple monitor works with the same hardware in Windows and with RH9 in text mode. I am also using the CVS ati and radeon drivers downloaded today. I have spent much time trying various config files without success. Unfortunately, I am too much a newbie to find the radeon_driver.c file to make the suggested edit. Where is it? Any other suggestions? Could the "MonitorLayout" option be relevant here if there is only a single monitor attached and it is detected by DDC?

Re: [XFree86] Radeon 9200: can't get DVI working
Hey, I am new here and I don't know where to put this question. I have an older computer with an ATI Mach(264vt2) graphics card, and the system is running Windows 95. Will these drivers work with this card and operating system? Or are these drivers only for Linux systems? Thank you for any help you can give.

I had the same effect with the windows driver, disabling cursor and bitmap optimization (the highest of 5 levels) cured it there. Thank you very much for your help.

RE: [XFree86] RAdeon 9200, ibook and XFree86 (Please HELPPP)
o If the binary distribution reported by the Xinstall.sh script is not present on the XFree86 site, then there are two possibilities: first is that it has not uploaded yet. This is likeliest possibility if you are looking shortly after the release date. The second possibility is that your target will not be be available at for this release. This is like- liest possibility if you are looking about two weeks after the release date. Check here http://www.xfree86.org/4.4.0/UPDATES.html> for information about updates to our binary distributions, and here http://www.xfree86.org/4.4.0/ERRATA.html> for errata related to this release. Looks like possibility number 2 to me. YDL is not exactly a major player in the Linux world. Maybe they have made packages themselves.

Stop right there. When you install XFree86 on top of anything, it gratuitously overwrites a few files. One of such files is /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc which is the system-wide, default script used to start up your X environment (window manager, etc). The xinitrc is run by 'xinit' (see the man page) which in turn is generally started by 'startx' from a console. However the xinitrc could also be run if you log in through a graphical display manager like xdm. I don't know the specifics of your setup. In short, RH's version of xinitrc is in the RPM package 'xinitrc'; in RH9 I believe it is xinitrc-3.32-1.noarch.rpm. If you reinstall this RPM chances are you will get your old behavior back (but with the new X binaries that you installed). > Whenever I try to start X, I get the grey screen with the X cursor but > it goes no further than that. You're probably actually running Twm without realizing it. Twm is small (but functional) window manager that is distributed with XFree86, and it is the window manager that is started by the xinitrc that XFree86 installs. > I have an ATI Radeon 9200 SE card, supported by the Radeon driver.

An error would be prefixed with "(EE)" and the X server would abort. If you only have one video card I think you can get away without specifying a BusID, but I may be wrong. :) > Many thanks and merry xmas, Happy Holidays to you too. ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Not on everything though. I am using the ATI drivers 3.2.5 with compiled 3D kernel modules from that driver. I was going to compile the XFree86 drivers, but I know SuSE does some different things at times, so decided to try this one first and it seems to work nicely so far.

Is it provided with XFree 4.3.0 or 4.4.0 ? Neither; it hasn't been merged into the Xfree86 tree yet. It's in DRI cvs. you can either use the binary snapshots or build from source: http://dri.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/Download Alex > > > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
