Re: ATI Radeon 7500 Woody - Unknown Chipset (0x5157)

The big question: what version of XFree86 are you using? tony 4.2.1 I'm afraid. Ah, yes ... Jonathan is using that version as well ... no wonder I couldn't get it to work ... On to the next thread! Thanks, -Kenneth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a

XFree86 4.1 -- 4.2.1 (Woody)

Greetings! As some of you following this list know, I have been trying to get my ATI Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500] board working with XFree86-4.1 under stable. After much help and emails, it appears that that controller/chip isn't supported under v4.1. :-( So, since I think the board is a

Re: ATI Radeon 7500 Woody - Unknown Chipset (0x5157)

ATI Radeon 7500 Woody - Unknown Chipset (0x5157)

I am running 'woody' with the 4.1.0-16woody1 version of XFree86 on a fairly new Dell with a ATI Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500] video controller. For some reason, the board isn't being recognized when I 'startx'. In particular, this: (II) ATI unknown chipset (0x5157) and this: (WW) ATI:

Re: ATI Radeon 7500 Woody - Unknown Chipset (0x5157)

js You could ease up error detection by providing the complete /var/log/ js XFree86.0.log and /etc/X11/XF86Config(-4). Good idea! The files are attached below. I manually edited XF86Config-4 some, so I hope it isn't in too bad of shape! ;-)
