more observations: 1. I think this is same as bug 141551. This was closed with Quirks to detect various radeon types and force AGPmodes. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/141551/comments/55
But, the when chipID=5960 (RV280, XPRESS 9250) is detected, we have another problem: radeon driver does not try to do AGPmode change - see attached log, showing default AGP8X is used. 2. This chip does not accept AGP2X setting, only AGP4X or 8X 3. Xserver fails just after setting up textured video (see log). When it is working OK - with "BusType" "PCI" setting - textured video is followed by init memap in the Xorg log. could this mean it is crashing while setting up the GART? (presume no GART in PCI mode) 4. fault happens from LiveCD. can't boot kubuntu unless failsafe graphics used. 5. hardware works fine, many hours uptime on VESA driver and windows-ME. Nice quiet (fanless) card. ** Attachment added: "xorg.0.log of fail at AGP8X" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21799949/xorg92faildvi.log -- 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
