Hi.
I got a ati radeon 8500 I've been trying to make
for a while. (3d)
Downloaded and compiled latest
driver dri.sourceforge.net. I got agpgart and AMD760 agp chipset built as
modules.
When I've loaded all modules and everything seem to
be ok I do startx. The monitor switches to black for a while and there seem to
be signal. But after ~7s the monitor switches to standbymode and there don't
seem to be a signal anymore. I've to do crtl+alt+delete then.
I've been trying to change the monitor freq two
times. But I think this is the driver...
Here are some info about my system.
kernel: 2.4.19
monitor: nec fe750+
tellus:~# modprobe agpgart
Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 203M agpgart: Detected AMD 761 chipset agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xf0000000 tellus:~# modprobe radeon

Anyone who've had similar issue ?
If I had knowledge about the lousy radeon8500
support in linux I would never had bought it. :(
cheers
