Hi! I just wanted to say that I've had exactly the same problem with XFree in 8.2 (4.2.0-10.3 ?) and XFree in cooker (4.2.0-17.1 ?) on my Mach64 (ATi RAGE Pro 6mb)... But, with XFree from 8.2beta2 (4.2.0-10.1 ?) there's no problems at all!
Btw, I've tied to downgrade from the newer versions to the one that works but that doesn't help. You have to reinstall... //ernie > > fredagen den 2 augusti 2002 kl 14.52 skrev Anne et Bertrand: > >> Since I've installed Mdk-8.2, I run XFree4 with the fbdev driver, >> because I've got a black screen with the ati driver. >> >> I'm trying now to have this latter work. >> >> I've made of diff of two /var/log/XFree86.0.log files, one with fbdev >> driver, the other with the ati one. >> What seems signicative to me is a warning in the ati one (more than a >> bunch of unused modelines) : >>> (WW) ATI(0): Cannot shadow an accelerated frame buffer. >> >> and the last line of the ati log file : >> >>> (II) ATI(0): Shutting down Xvideo subsystems >> >> Does anybody know what does this mean ? >> I've attached the diff file. >> >> I usually boot linux with the accelerated ati console driver (with a >> kernel argument "video = atyfb:accel" ...).
