I hava a compaq laptop with this ATI card. Installed debian (woody), xfree 4.2.x, recompiled 2.4.21 kernel with drm for all ati's chipsets and everything works ok (when I use 'ati' driver), except of the Xv extension (and glxgears has about 50 fps). lspci shows me:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x
Subsystem: Compaq Computer Corporation: Unknown device b111
Flags: bus master, stepping, medium devsel, latency 66, IRQ 11
Memory at 40000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
I/O ports at 1000 [size=256]
Memory at 41000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: [50] AGP version 1.0
Capabilities: [5c] Power Management version 1
I tried also to use the r128 driver, and put the line "busID 1:0:0" in my XF86Config-4 file, but then Xserver crashed, telling me "no devices found".
could somebody tell me is it possible to have a working xv (an, maybe, good glx speed) on this card? If so, what should I do? Should Gatos drivers (ati.2) help me? What should I put in my XF86Config-4 file? Can I make it in the "debian way" (debs only ;-) )?
best regards, Pawel
