I have this one too. Asus K8V SE M/B; Asus graphics card Radeon XPRESS 9250 128M. Kubuntu 8.10. Exact same crashing and cut-off Xorg log behaviour.
In Bug #141551 I read about AGP bus modes causing such problems with other Radeons, so I experimented with that. System BIOS only lets me choose AGP8X or 4X. I set it to 4X, and in xorg.conf added "AGPMode" "2". This still fails, but examination of the truncated Xorg.0.log shows why: when it tries to set 2X, it reports ILLEGAL MODE - forcing AGP 4X next I tried: "BusType" "PCI", and sure enough it works. the log reports: (--) RADEON(0): Chipset: "ATI Radeon 9250 5960 (AGP)" (ChipID = 0x5960) (--) RADEON(0): Linear framebuffer at 0x00000000e8000000 (II) RADEON(0): AGP card detected (**) RADEON(0): Forced into PCI mode Sadly, like other users in Bug #141551, this slows everything down very badly. The VESA driver works perfectly, but of course I am looking for the extra features of radeon driver! -- No signal to monitor in 8.04 with Ati Radeon 9250 and open source driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293698 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
