Re: Ati Mobility 9700

Quick info:

With the drm-trunk packages:
glxinfo shows no DRI, and framrate of glxinfo falls from 440 (vesa) down to 180 frames. Same for tuxracer (both times software mode). :-( Radeon tells me that gfx adapters ati M 9500 and higher are still not supported.

So I think using an "accelerated driver" is of no use, since it slows down my system. Vesa drivers work fine, even with multiple monitor support. I nobody has an idea how to get acc. graphics, I will continue using vesa drivers.


Ehmm...???

So, I'd check my installed X versions if I were you. BTW, I'm running
sid. And you?

HTH,

Its a Ati MOBILITY 9700, which has another chipset than the std. 9700. But I got it working with the fglrx drivers. Unfortunately, this driver does not like fb devices ... makes the whole system hang.
