thanks for your response, adam i'll try the winishhofer driver...
meesh ---------- From: Adam Goode[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, December 29, 2002 9:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Xpert]V_BIOS woes I have an SS50 mini PC from Shuttle, and it has on board SiS 6325 AGP video, as well as a Radeon 7500 PCI which I added. There are 2 versions of XFree86 which I've tried: 4.2.1-4 from Debian, and CVS HEAD. The only change I have made to the Debian version is adding the sis driver from Thomas Winischhofer http://www.winischhofer.net/sis/sis_drv.o_4.2.1_261102-1.tar.gz to get the sis card recognized. I've tried the HEAD version as is, downloaded yesterday. I am trying to get Xinerama to work, which it almost does, but then crashes. There are 2x2 configurations I'm using. One dimension is setting in my BIOS setup which video card is initialized as primary: ATI or SiS. The other dimension is the XFree86 version: Debian or HEAD. The only configuration which initializes all the cards and displays a picture across both of them is Debian-SiSPrimary. That is, I set the BIOS to initalize the SiS card first, and rtun the 4.2.1-4 Debian version. Unfortunately, this crashes very soon after I login and start to move windows between the two screens. In the other 3 configurations, I get trouble with not finding V_BIOS and the non-primary card doesn't get initalized at all. A quick table: Version Primary Result ----------------------------- HEAD SiS SiS works, ATI driver can't find V_BIOS or init the card HEAD ATI ATI works, SiS driver can't find V_BIOS or init the card 4.2.1-4 SiS Both cards work, int10 finds both V_BIOSes 4.2.1-4 ATI ATI works, SiS driver can't find V_BIOS or init the card I'm sure something odd is happening deep with int10, and something between 4.2.1.1 and HEAD has broken at least some previously working configurations. I'm attaching lspci -vvv for both configurations, with ATI as primary card and SiS as primary card. I'm also attaching all 4 XFree86 logs for the configurations in the table above. It would be nice to get int10 working to find V_BIOS in all situations. Any help would be appreciated, and I'll be happy to do anything necessary to provide information to smart int10/pci hackers.
