Walldorf2000, -ati now ships with "4" as the default value for AGPMode
for most hardware, so it would be worth testing Intrepid with either the
stock xorg.conf, or no xorg.conf, and check that it picks it up
correctly and runs properly.
This AGP setting is a common issue across a LOT of -ati bugs. I've
coded up a patch to allow us to quirk specific hardware to set the
setting. So, if the defaults *don't* work for you in Intrepid, we can
put in a quirk for your hardware. This will make the live cd "just
work" for you (and hopefully others with your same hardware combo).
Possible values for AGPMode include 1, 2, 4, 8. You can see what it's
currently set to by looking in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. It's worthwhile to
test all four values even once you find one that works. If this takes
care of it for you, we may be able to establish a quirk to set it for
your hardware combo, if you can provide the following data:
* AGPMode value(s) that work
* Make/Model of laptop or motherboard
* Output of lspci -vvnn
* Is the system all factory hardware, or have any parts been replaced?
* Is there an AGP Mode in the system BIOS?
- If so, is it set to the factory default?
