This is how I got my Mandrake 8.0 system running the X server on my ASUS
A7M266 / ATI RADEON A.I.W. system.
As I'm sure your'e tired of hearing, the standard configuration using
the Accelerated driver locks up without log output so theres nothing to
go on.
With all I've read in the lists the last few days, I w.a.g. ed that the
NoAccel mode might at least get me a screen up. It did, so I'm passing
along how I did it for anyone who falls into the same hole I did.
See the attached RadeonFix.txt
Only a couple of lines changed from the XFdrake configuration but it
makes X go.
I have a couple of questions too.
There are some warnings and errors in my attached log file. I tried to
look up APM (see the first one) in the man pages but found nothing.
What does it do?
The system seems to be stable at the moment as I'm writing this with
Mozilla.
Finally I've heard I'll need to update my system to Kernel 2.4.10 to get
the fix for the 761 chip set and to XFree86 4.1.0 to get the most stable
accelerated server.
Your recommendation on the best sources for these (sourcefourge?) would
also be appreciated, as well as any pointers you might have. I don't
want much do I?
I feel much better about all of this now that I have my precious GUI
back thanks in large part to all of you who contribute to the list.
Keep up the good work.!
Thanks again
John Seabrook
p.s. I hope attachments work for this list cause I haven't quite figured
out how to copy a KWrite buffer to Mozilla yet.

ATI RADEON All-In-Wonder
Mandrake 8.0
XFree86 version 4.0.3
If you have this combination of hardware and software you already know
about the video server lock-ups.
This will at least get a screen up you can use the GUI tools for
upgrading your system.
The latest I've seen is you need:
kernel 2.4.8 or later,
XFree86 4.1.0 or later.
I haven't done that part on my system yet, but I thought I'd pass along
this work-around to help anyone else out of the "hole" I fell intol
On my Mandrake 8.0 system, the procedure is like this:
I ran "XFdrake" andgot into video board selection by selecting [Cancel]
when faced with the resolution selection.
I then selected;
the ATI Radeon,
my monitor,
an appropriate resolution.
I then Quit without testing.
I then edited the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file
In the "Device" Section (for the RADEON board):
I ucommented the VideoRam line.
I added a line: Option "NoAccel"
I also commented out the line: Option "DPMS"
This last one may not have been completely necessary
but my server is putting" "(WW) OpentAPM failed"
in the /tmp/log/XFree86.0.log.
(It looks suspiciously like power management).
The end result is that now X runs. - even if there's no 3D accelleration.
