RE: [XFree86] Radeon 9200: can't get DVI working
XFree86 4.3.x detects the card (chip id 0x5961, see log) and even the DFP on the primary port, but a signal is only produced on the (not connected) secondary VGA port. The hardware is working (tested with windows). I'm using a newer driver version (4.3.99) with explicit support for the card (I've also tried 4.3.0 with binary driver from Schneider-Digital and got no signal at all). Has anybody this card working with DVI? Any hints? This is something new. It's supposed to work the same as 9000 cards, but apparently it isn't. I haven't seen a 9200 with a DVI port so far.

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.
