IBM Thinkpad R32: Problem with ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY
Hello!
I bought a new Thinkpad R32 a few days ago.
The first thing I did was resizing the main partition and installing
Linux (Debian Sarge).
I got it all running, except the 3D hardware acceleration with "drm".
Trying to start tuxracer or glxgears results in "illegal instruction"
output. After this the mouse or/and trackpoint don't work any more. I
have to restart the X-Server.
A colleague of mine has got nearly the same notebook. I've got a 2.0 GHz
P4 and he's got a 1.8 GHz. The rest is all the same.
I tried to use his kernel, to see if the problem is located there - that
does not seem to be the case: same problem.
I hope someone has got a solution to this problem. 3D acceleration is
not, what I bought the notebook for, but I think everything should work...
Thanks in advance
Tobias Ramforth
PS: I removed the "drm" option in the XF86Config-4. Then everything
works slowly but fine.
