Subject: DRI Drivers with XFree86-4.0.2
Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2001 23:41:51 +0200
Hi
To play Quake3Arena on my linux machine i installed the DRI-Drivers
from sourceforge (rage128-20010404-i386-Linux.tar.gz)
In my PC is a
ATI Xpert 2000 Pro,32MB, AGP4x SD-RAM, Rage 128 VR
plugged.
So the drivers sould match to my card.
I have:

Well, in case you haven't read it yet, I'd throw out a VERY strong
recommendation to read the IP Masquerading HOWTO (available at
http://ipmasq.cjb.net/). It's very well written and describes how to
set all these things up to work well with good security. If you've
already read it, then never mind :>

Try it without the '=' in there. I've never seen that.

I'm the one who made the original posting. Evidently, neither of my Matrox
cards (G400 Max with Digital Flat Panel addon, or G200 with DFP add-on, and a
DFP->DVI adapter) work with my current motherboard (Asus P2B-DS). Even the
boot messages don't come out on the digitial adapter, though they do in another
computer, and with the previous motherboard (Intel L400GX+). There is a binary
X 4.0 driver from Matrox that claims to support the flat panel, and the matrox
frame buffer code takes an option "dfp" which is supposed to enable flat panel
support, but as I said, my motherboard seems to dislike the flat panel Matrox
cards (the analog VGA part has no problem).

Yeah, I know, I just bought one. Using the VESA frame buffer, it displays just
fine on the digitial interface (and not on the VGA interface). The trouble is
there isn't yet support for it in XFree86. I even did a cvs update in my
XFree86 directory last night, and it looks like there isn't any support just
yet. The Raedon frame buffer in 2.4.3-ac3 also doesn't support it. At
present, I've switched back to the G400, but will probably see what X on top of
a fbdev device looks like. I just checked and neither Xig nor Metroworks X
servers support the VE either. According to the ATI web pages, it takes about
3 months before X drivers are available, so it probably is the card is too
new.
There is also the All-in-Wonder Radeon with DVI output. Looking at the current
sources, the flat panel support has been disabled.
There are also the cards that use the GeForce2 video chipset: ASUS 7100 with
VGA1+VGA2+DVI outputs or the VisionTek MX AGP4X 32MB SDR VGA DVI I Twin. While
XFree86 doesn't seem to have support, there is a driver from SGI, VA, and
nVidia that claims to support the flat panel. About a year ago, I had a Riva
video card before I bought the flat panel LCD, and the drivers from nVidia had
a 'feature' that didn't work with emacs, but it may be fixed by now.

IMHO, it might be best to get a LCD monitor that has both analog and digitial
inputs, which raises the price somewhat. That way, even if you can't get the
digital controls to work, you can hook it up as a normal monitor. For digital
controls, your choices are:
G400 with flat panel support addon (not G450)
G200 with flat panel support addon + DVI adapter
ATI Radeon VE
ATI Radeon All-in-Wonder with DVI output
ASUS 7100 with DVI output
VisonTek GeForce2 with DVI output
For the Matrox cards, you have to order the digital flat panel addon directly
from Matrox. The G200 uses an earlier connector, so you will also need an
adapter to the current DVI connector. Note, my motherboard (ASUS P2B-DS) seems
to disable the flat panel support in both the G400 and the G200. You can get a
Matrox binary, non-GPL driver for X that supports the flat panel, and 2.4 frame
buffer code for the G400 has support for 'dfp' (though since my motherboard
doesn't support it, I can't say if it works).
The Radeon VE supports DVI flat panels with the vesa framebuffer support, but
there is no X support at the present time. Given ATI claims to work with the
Xfree86 developers, it is probably just a matter on months until it is
supported. Until then, constructing an X server that uses the framebuffer
might work.
The Xfree86 sources mention that that the All in Wonder flat panel support is
disabled at the current time. XIG (commercial X server, $99) does claim
support the All In Wonder flat panel.
The digital output of the two GeForce2 cards is not supported in the current
Xfree86 sources, but you can get a binary, non-GPL driver from nVidia that
claims support. I haven't tried these cards yet.
