Hey there -- I'm having some trouble configuring an ATI Radeon 9000. It seems that X and lspci can't identify the card. I'm not sure if that's the fault of the card for not identifying itself correctly, or if the right ID strings are missing. 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4966 (rev 01) 01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 496e (rev 01) The radeon driver fails to identify the card, so it doesn't even try to work: (WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found - From what I know about this card, it's basically an 8500 with extensions. I also stumbled across commercial drivers from Xi (!?!). In theory, I ought to be able to set it up as an 8500 (and give up the extensions the 9000 offers). Would some kind person explain to me how to go about this? I've never set up a card that wasn't recognized by its driver. Oh, by the way, if I can get this thing working, I'll have some time to write up a detailed test of Yaacov's Neomagic Xv patch for the list. ^_^ I'm running the 4.2.1-3 packages on testing, kernel 2.4.19. Thanks in advance, Russell - -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8 <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iD8DBQE91seWHeAQ1TJNf5IRAp9vAJ4tvk8uuutiUpMXlr7Wl59rn9NkfQCeMnr1 GqIrg22bWJExpVBbvndJG/U= =f9on -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
