That's really weird... I have a KT133/686B board (Asus A7V) on which I've
had two different Radeons (32MB DDR, VE) working under both Windows 2000 and
Linux (XF86 4.1.0, Kernel 2.4.8ac5)... These were both AGP, though. The only
bug was that the VE puked if I connected my Compaq FS740 monitor (a
flat-screen CRT, not an LCD) to it (Windows only).
I did have some serious ice-up problems under Win (but not Lin) using a PCI
ATi AIW 128 (Rage 128) for 3d acceleration... Direct3d and OpenGL under
windows iced the whole box up solid. Under Linux, I couldn't make it freeze
up.

Subject: Re: [Newbie]ATI AIW RADEON Problems w/ 4.1
This Athlon 1.4 doesn't happen to be installed on an IWill KK266 board or
another KT133A/686B board by chance? And it's not a PCI by chance?
I ask because I've got a Radeon AIW 32MB PCI and have failed to get it to
work on the IWill KK266 board w/1.2GHz Athlon "C". It locks the system
unless I use Generic VGA.
Now, don't moan, but this was with Windows (which we all know is so easy to
install and configure, and everything works out of the box with it), and ATI
has been unable to provide any technical assistance for me. There is some
indication that the problem may be related to the documented 686B bug,
though this is supposed to affect SBLive and data corruption when
transferring files from one drive to another.
Would be interesting to know your MB and whether others have the same
MB/video card working.
My symptoms include:
pixelated corruption of display, especially when trying to play a DVD
system or screen lockup when doing anything (activate a menu, open an app,
etc).
The *only* success I've had with this card is when I decrease acceleration
two notches under Advanced/Performance

Hardware:
ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon (32 MB)
Samsung SyncMaster 955DF
Athlon 1.4 GHz w/ 1 GB RAM
First: At installation of Red Hat Xconfigurator locked system. Reinstalled
several times before achieving _some_ graphics capability with Generic VGA
card and generic monitor refresh rates.
Second: Installed XFree86 4.1 per latest instructions, including errata re:
removing buggy glide_drv.o. After installed XFree86 -configure seemed to
succeed, but upon trying to run Xserver locked again. (Locks with grey
pixelated screen, similar to the grey screen seen at X startup sometimes.)
Could acceleration be an issue? I don't know whether it is trying to run in
accelerated mode or not...indications in the Xpert archive that dri and the
radeon driver have a bug which prevents that.
