There seems to be some variation in how various radeon chips work with XFree86 as there have been problems reported that I have not had. This is not a laptop nor dual-head nor tv anything.
Hi all,
has anyone got the radeon 7000 video card to work with rc2 which uses Xfree
4.3?
It works fine on mdk 9.0 Xfree 4.2 in single head.
I Have got the dri drivers to try out tonight.
Any gotcha's that I should know about?
I know the mobile Radeon in my laptop doesn't work with DRI. Specifically, whenever I try to restart the X server (including changing the screen resolution, logging out of my desktop, or rebooting), the system locks up bad and forces me to do a hard reboot. By disabling 3d acceleration (DRI), this problem went away. This is apparently a known bug in the radeon driver - I found the problem mentioned in the Mandrake Cooker mailing list archives.
I am running Mandrake 9.1 rc2, updated to Cooker, including X 4.3.
