Hi Everyone,
I'm having troubles making an ATI Radeon X1900 PCIe work on my G5/Quad.
It is the G5 MacEdition (and it works with Mac OS X, tested).
With linux, the computer works, but no luck with the video: it is frozen
on the open firmware boot message end (early kernel boot).
Of course, I t

Anyway, this looks much closer, maybe the missing information can be

Thank you for the guiding. I'll try and do that.

Hi,
My quad-G5 is not updatable anymore (on Debian-testing) because udev
fails to install.
Here is the message :

Have you other information, because I would be interested.

Known issue: for 3D acceleration (openGL 1.3 only, though), you must set
options radeon modeset=0
in the file /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf
Just checking: did you restart the computer after modifiying the
modesetting file ?

Indeed, just checked it myself... Only ~70 frames/s and software rasterizer...
AFAICT, this is quite a recent regression. I am positive it worked
well with the 3.0 and 3.1 kernels, but I am not sure when it came in.
After the font color bug, that is for sure...
