Re: [Cooker] Latest XFree86 w/Radeon and hardware accellerationrebootssystem.

[George Mitchell]

Well I have a Radeon 7000 that works with neither 8.2 or 9.0 unless accelleration is somehow disabled. It works flawlessly with Red Hat 8.0 though. There is simply some problem lurking in Mandrake that trashes these early Radeon cards. I originally suspected it was in the glx libraries but I have lately been hearing that it was a kernel 'drm' module. All I really know is that it fails badly, even when accelleration is not in use.

I had a working Radeon 7500 out of the 9.0 box too, with DRI.

Well, I don't think I'm delusional ...

I guess this means I will need to test a beta on the machine with the
Radeon 7500 then.

But, there are quite a few posts on Mandrakeexpert (I searched for 'radeon
blank' and got about 6 entries for Mandrake 8.2 and Mandrake 9.0.

A google search also turns up a few.
