I'm using FreeBSD 4.5 and recently picked up an ATI Radeon 7500 (64MB). According to ATIs website and the xfree86 page, this should be supported by Xfree86 4.2.0. So, I need to upgrade from xfree86 3.x to 4.2.
I backed up my old /usr/X11R6 and used the Xinstall.sh script to update to 4.2. However, I can't seem to configure the card correctly (either the monitor goes out of range, X won't start at all, or terribly elongated picture). Couple of questions: (1) When using XF86Setup or xf86config, I don't see the ATI Radeon 7500 listed in the card database. Is there another card name I should be choosing? (2) I don't know the RAMDAC/etc..? Should I leave the probed values or try and find these out? SuperProbe doesn't seem to come up with the correct card memory or things like that. (3) I have an LCD monitor with horizontal (31.5-80) and vertical (56-75) ranges and i'm using the DVI connector. Would the LCD be complicating things? (4) Anyone had success using the ATI Radeon 7500 and FreeBSD? Want to weight in with a successful procedure? ;) Thanks for any help, --Ben _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
