Re: Is there really nobody that can help me? (was Re: radeon 9200, Linux 2.6 and Xfree 4.3.0 dri not working)
Update of the situation:
- Debian woody (stable).
- Radeon 9200 SE card (two of them).
Machine 1:
- MSI motherboard (SiS 730 chipset).
Works with XFree86-4.3.0-0pre1v5 from:
http://people.debian.org/~nobse/xfree86/woody/
(in fact there still remain the bug #225759 that
can be avoided forcing the chip ID)
Machine 2:
- Asus A7V8X-X motherboard (Via KT400 chipset).
Needs kernel 2.6.0 for proper AGP3 support.
I installed this kernel (with updated packages
modutils and module-init-tools, taken from:
http://www.backports.org/debian/dists/stable/...)
and XFree86-4.3.0-0pre1v5.
Now the kernel messages look good:
...

And the xserver messages look good too:

Any ideas ?
