Hello folks! I have got an HIS ATI Radeon 8500 OEM card, which is not manufactured by ATI but by "Hightech Information Systems" (http://www.hightech.com.hk/html/index.html). Xfree does not detect my card at all. I think this is because my OEM card has a different device id than an "original" ATI Radeon 8500 card which is manufactured by ATI themselves (my device id is: 0x514c, as you can see in the XFree output file at the bottom of this mail). I have already tried a different XFree driver (http://gatos.sourceforge.net/)but it does not seem to detect my graphics card, too.
1. Is there any alternative XFree driver which supports my HIS ATI Radeon 8500 OEM card? 2. Is it possible just to modify the "device id recognition" in the original XFree driver in order to make it determine my chipset properly? (because I think my OEM card is in principle the same as the "original" ATI Radeon 8500 card, it's just the device id that is different) Thanks in advance Martin M. Here is my XF86Config file and the XFree output file: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Section "Module" Load "dbe" SubSection "extmod" Option "omit xfree86-dga" EndSubSection Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "glx" EndSection Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "Keyboard" Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc101" Option "XkbLayout" "de" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Belinea 101560" HorizSync 30-61 VertRefresh 56-75 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Radeon 8500" Driver "radeon" VideoRam 65536 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen 1" Device "ATI Radeon 8500" Monitor "Belinea 101560" DefaultDepth 16 Subsection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Simple Layout" Screen "Screen 1" InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection ------------------------------------------------------------------------ XFree86 Version 4.1.0 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510) Release Date: 2 June 2001 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
