Yes... Well, 32MB DDR actually, but here's the general steps: Install Linux 2.4.8-ac5 or later (NOT 2.4.11, that's buggy), making sure to include MTRR, AGPGART (specify the right chipset. If you don't know, pick 'em all, none conflict AFAIK) and DRM for your video card (Leave out Rage 128... R128 and Radeon butt heads). Build these directly into the kernel unless you really love modules... In that case, ensure that they're getting loaded before X starts.
Then, install XFree86 4.1.0. AFAIK, the precompiled binaries will work, but compile from source if you want to be sure. Configure X using XFree86 -configure. Do *NOT*, I vehemently reiterate, do NOT, use Xconfigurator or SAX2 or anything like that. Make sure that the card uses either the ati or radeon drivers, not r128. (sometimes the ati driver works and the radeon doesn't, sometimes vice versa, sometimes they both do. For me they both work). Be sure to specify the right BusID (X should sense this automagically, else use scanpci or lspci to find out). Set your DRI permissions to 666, it's 660 by default. Make sure to use 16 or 24bpp modes, 15 or 32 have problems, 8 is pointless ;-) I'm using Radeonfb also, which may or may not be helping me. -----Original Message----- From: Raven [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, September 16, 2001 3:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Newbie]Re: Newbie digest, Vol 1 #659 - 16 msgs has anyone used an ATI Radion 64mb DDR VIVO in any of your (linux) systems? I can't get my drivers right! Help!!!
