Well, I wasn't using the 3d accelerated 'radeon' driver but the merely
2d 'ati' driver - but switching doesn't seem to have helped.
I tried with the latest DRI CVS snap, and with daniel's source package.
Coincidentally his source tree is too old for the radeon driver to even
load :P (need 1.9 or >). So I'm using, radeon-20030901-linux.i386.tar.
Now, my framebuffer resizes correctly when i leave X (one good thing at
least!) but I get the following output from the radeon driver:
(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled
(==) RandR enabled
(II) Initializing built-in extension MIT-SHM
(II) Initializing built-in extension XInputExtension
(II) Initializing built-in extension XTEST
(II) Initializing built-in extension XKEYBOARD
(II) Initializing built-in extension LBX
(II) Initializing built-in extension XC-APPGROUP
(II) Initializing built-in extension SECURITY
(II) Initializing built-in extension XINERAMA
(II) Initializing built-in extension XFree86-Bigfont
(II) Initializing built-in extension RENDER
(II) Initializing built-in extension RANDR
(EE) RADEON(0): FBIOPAN_DISPLAY: Invalid argument
Oops. X says Direct rendering enabled. But then I get an error, and
glxinfo says:
direct rendering: No
lspci says:
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5591/5592 AGP
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device
4c66 (rev 01)
(vga chipset is LF according to X)
so where I'm going now is that Linux 2.4.22 has no AGP support for the
5591/5592 agp2x chipsets yet, but I am almost certain you can still get
accel even without specific chipset support.
If the whole server log would be useful I'd be happy to send it
privately but I think I've spammed the list enough for one day.
