I've just installed sid on a Dell Latitude PP01L. I have a few questions: * 3d Acceleration. As far as I can tell, Radeon Mobility 7500 is supposed to be supported in X 4.3 including 3d accel and xvideo. I can't get 3d accel to work. I have radeon loaded as a module, using the 2.6.6 kernel. I'm using the "radeon" X driver, with the option "UseFBDev". I've also tried "agpmode" "2" and "4". Regardless, I see the following in XFree86.0.log
(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled Also, lsmod reports that radeon module is unused. I've also tried using xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk modules DEB from dri.freedesktop.org. Same result. Any ideas how to get 3d accel to work on this card? * More video card trouble: the rendering is a little "blurry" at 1024x768. Particularly xterm at default font is very poor quality. I have fontconfig configured with subpixel rendering enabled. I don't really know how to track down this problem. This is a setup transported from another laptop (with a Mach64 card) where there was no such problem. * WinModem support: lspci reports PCTel Inc Dell Inspiron 2100 internal modem. Apparently the pctel driver (0.9.7) is supposed to support this modem, but it doesn't build under 2.6.x. I've googled some and I haven't gotten a definitive answer on whether there is any way to get this modem to work under 2.6.x. * Does anyone know if this machine is known by a different name? linux-laptop.net doesn't list the model, although other sites claim various Latitude models are actually PP01L. The specs are Pentium 4M 2Gz, ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500], 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado], Intel Corp. 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Modem Controller. Came with 256M RAM and 20G HD, I've upgraded to 384M and 80G. I would love to find someone with this exact system who has already dealt with configuration issues. -- Adam Kessel http://adam.rosi-kessel.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
