I tried booting with mem=1g and GARTSize 16. It failed in the same way. This motherboard is a UP1500, made by Samsung, and never had all the firmware bugs worked out. For instance, the PALcode initializes the AGP GART in such a way that it is unusable on Alpha. Hence, the card must be forced into PCI mode in xorg.conf to even start. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12127#c6 for a more detailed analysis. I'll contact the poster of that message to see if he can offer insight into this problem. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
