Hi Wyatt,



No, I haven't tried this. Thanks, I'll try.

Hey Bridgman,

a couple of months is fine. I can get going on this r2xx when they finally do come out.Yeah, I wrote about it here: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15028

Hi Bridgman, I am interested in helping debug the r2xx video adapter module I'm using in X.

I would love to read this r2xx doc to help me understand and describe more accurately what's going on...

Hello Folks,

I have an ATI 8500 LE card, in my my box. The motherboard is a via MVP3 chipset. I haven't been able to get 3D acceleration working with the ati-6.9.0 server.

I think it might be...

I'll go a post the bug at the above list.

As for compiling new kernel modules, I'm totally comfortable
compiling a new kernel, and breaking stuff on my system as need be. But I'll probably need...

I don't want to be too obsequious, but 'thank you' to adg5F and bridgeman. I can imagine how hard it is debugging stuff without access to actual hardware, and having dufusi, such as myself, trying...

I was comparing and contrasting the X log and noticing they were nearly identical. So, dmesg makes sense. Thanks.

I ran modprobe drm debug=1, and the dmesg is linked here:...

As root I ran:
modprobe drm debug=1

This is another hint from a kernel developer that responded.


FYI running the lsof /dev/dri/card0, did nothing at all.

I don't know what he means by "try writing 1 to /sys/modul...

Yup, sorry I was futzing around a bit.

I sent a kernel developer a snippet of my Xorg log and asked his opinion.

Here is a dusty issue I've brought to the ATI driver board.
I'm just trying to understand if the via chipset...

Here is the Xorg log.

For those in the know, what are the relevent issues in this situation? I understand the MVP3 chipset has had past issues with the ATI video driver. Other reports I've read from other say that...

BTW, thanks for the quick reply.

I hope we here on this forum can puzzle this one out.

Yup.

Hello, I just spent MLK Jr. Weekend wiping my machine and
installing a fresh Slackware 12.2

It uses X server 1.4.2

root# uname -r

It is all freshly compiled with gcc version...

Just as i got all of my info out there, this question seems to be dying out.

I'm using the current X server, a pretty up to date kernel and libraries. And, I know that using an older r128 card...

xf86-video-ati-6.9.0 is the Slackware-current package I have installed.

Sweet! Here you go:
