Hello, Could it be that XFree86 doesn't (yet?) support the "ATI Mobility Radeon 7000" graphic adapter (notebook)?
Background: Trying to install XFree86/2 (for OS/2) version 4.4 on my notebook, I do a "xfree86 -configure" in order to get the hardware checked automatically. What happens is just nothing, i.e.: the program neither crashes nor stops and I have to terminate it the hard way. The log file it should generate is there, but empty. My hardware is an IBM Thinkpad R32, and IBM specifies the graphic adapter as follows: ATI Mobility Radeon 7000, AGB 4x, 16MB DDR-SDRAM, 66 MHz bus On the ATI webpage I find the following graphic chip, which might (or might not??) be the same: ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 IGP (note the "IGP" suffix) A PCI bus scan of my system delivers the following complete output: http://www.os2warp.be/notebook2/ibm/r32pci.txt the essence being: Radeon Mobility M6 LY (i.e.: still another set of suffixes) Finally the radeon driver docs for XFree86 reports as supported: Radeon Mobility 7000 IGP So what I see is: - there are similar, but still different designations around - it doesn't seem to work on my system currently The other (and always quite probable!) thing could be "user error" - but which? Greetings and thanks for any help! (Maybe there's a R32 user around with an XFree86 server of any kind running??)
