hi all,

my system configuration:
P4 2,4Ghz fsb 800 HT
super micro p4spa+ mainboard
radeon 9200se graphics card
running debian woody with kernel 2.4.21 
XFree86 4.3.99-12 compiled from source

recently i bought a radeon 9200se graphics card.
it took me a very long time to get it work in X. its because the ati
driver only knows about the 9200 but not the 9200se. the pci-chip-id is
differen (9200 = 5963 / 9200se = 5964) i found a patch on the internet
that makes the driver recognize that chip.
(http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg12830.html)
i recompiled XFree86 and it worked perfectly.

now i want dri support too. i downloaded the radeon package
(radeon-20030926-linux.i386.tar.bz2) run install.sh and everything
worked great but when i run startx i get the same message as when the
card wasnt detected by the driver before.
[quote /var/log/XF86log.0.log]
...snip
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
(EE) No devices detected.
[/quote]


so my question is: does the radeon dri package support the 9200se and if
not is it possible to apply the above patch to make it support it?
secondly is it possible to get dri support right when building XFree86
using my existing and working driver?

thanks for your help
