Try upgrading to XFree86 4.1.0. I've got an NEC Versa VX notebook with an ATi Rage Mobility card (can't remember if it's M3 or M4) but it does work with 4.1.0 (and, IIRC, worked with 4.0.3 as well). I don't have DRI, and I had to add the GATOS stuff to get Xv, but 2D accel works.
-----Original Message----- From: Karen A Swanberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2001 11:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Newbie]OpenBSD Dell C800 Ati Mobility M4 I have a Dell Latitude C800 running OpenBSD 2.9 (CD) with an ATI Mobility M4 video card. I can't get Xfree to run, either 3.3.6 or 4.0.1 (both of which come with OpenBSD 2.9). I see from the archives that this chip has worked for others, although it's not specifically mentioned in the hardware compatibility list at www.xfree86.org. Ominously, when I try to run xf86cfg, the screen just blanks, and I have to use ctl-alt-backspace to get out of it. dmesg has this: vga1 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 vendor "ATI", unknown product 0x4d46 rev 0x00 wsdisplay0 at vga1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) wsdiaplay0: screen 1-5 added (80x25, vt100 emulation) wsmouse0 at pms0 mux 0 My superprobe gives this: First Video: Super-VGA chipset: ATI (chipset unknown) (port probed) signature data: 3f3f0000 (please report) Memory: 0 bytes RAMDAC: Generic 8 bit psuedo-color DAC (with 6-bit wide lookup tables (or in 6-bit mode)) This is a dualboot with Win2K, which tells me that I'm running high color (16 bit) 1400 x 1050, 60hz, Ati Mobility M4 adapter, chip: M4 AGP4x, DAC - internal (250 Mhz) with 16Megs of memory. And using the ati2dvai.dll driver. I have tried multiple setups, using the three config tools (XF86Setup, xf86cfg and xf86config) and can get nothing to work. I'd send errors and the like, but I've tried too many different configurations. So, does anyone have an XF86Config file for a Dell Latitude C800 that they would like to send me? Or does anyone have any ideas? I haven't futzed with the kernel yet.
