It turns out that my particular card is very poorly supported by the latest xorg (6.8.0) but worked with 6.7.0. Now it still works but only if I don't allow those two modules to load, even though 'X -configure' detected the capability. By commenting out dri and glx from xorg.conf I've been able to use it, albeit without 3d acceleration. In any event, pretty simple thing to try. Post back whether it works or not.

By commenting out dri and glx from xorg.conf I've been able to use it, albeit without 3d acceleration. In any event, pretty simple thing to try. Post back whether it works or not. I ran Xorg -configure and edited the fresh conf file it generated. One thing I noticed was that there were no screen modes at all added to the file; Depth and Viewport were filled in, but no Modes. So, in addition to commenting out dri and glx, the only change I made was to add four resolution modes to the Depth 24 section. I then ran X -config on this new config file, and voila! I got that great, grey screen! Pressiong ctl+alt+plus|minus had no effect at all, but ctl+alt+back exited out of the X server. The one (WW) warning I saw back on the console was (WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:3:0:1) found. The only thing I can relate this error to is the fact that Windows XP auto-detects this card as two devices somehow as well, as it shows two cards in Device Manager when I only have one, and a second Display too, both called Secondary. I then tried startx for the real test... and it failed. It brought me back to my favorite green and blue garbled screen, out from which I could not exit. Any idea why?

Re: ATI-Radeon-9000
I started with your average XFree86 configuration, you know, start with small memory size, screen resolution, low bit color, etc. I compiled in the same driver as I did under slackware on the laptop (dual boot), but it just gives me ati compile errors, I will have to try a reinstall and copy the message over because i wiped the laptop, but I will be doing that today.

A reinstall almost never helps solve the problem which was preventing the person from getting the software to work. However, starting from a known condition can be easier than figuring out what someone broke and then fixing that as well as performing the configuration properly. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
