Hello all, I have a ATI xpress200M in my new HP laptop. Chipset is
5955. I have not had any luck with drivers, dri/drm. I would rather
go the open source route rather than binary ATI. I was hoping to use
the radeon driver and drm from this project.
Now after downloading from cvs, I was able to compile, and load both
the drm and radeon kernel modules. However they did not see my card
as before. So I figured it could be as simple as PCI ID not existing
or etc in the driver. Sure enough that was the case. Not enough to
get it working but enough to get the card recognized on module load.
It is not in the drm pci id list because, as you found out, it just
plain doesn't work. There's a patch which would add all those ids here,
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5413.
I added to shared-core/drm_pciids.txt
0x1002 0x5955 CHIP_RS400|CHIP_IS_IGP|CHIP_IS_MOBILITY "ATI
Technologies Inc ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M"
And then to linux-core/drm_pciids.h
You don't need to change this file as it's generated from the
drm_pciids.txt file.
The stuff in X's log also looks promising. But the non-functional
blank display requiring reboot to reset is not ;)
Anyway thought I would drop a note. If there is anything i can do to
test, contribute, or help develop the driver enough to support my
chipset, please let me know.
There are just some bits missing (regarding setting up the memory
controller correctly) in the driver for xpress200 igps. You can find
some more information in the list archive, I'm not sure if someone is
working on it currently.
