[Bug 208237] New: ATI Rage XL PCI graphic card couldn't go over 125MHz pixelclock.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=208237 Summary: ATI Rage XL PCI graphic card couldn't go over 125MHz pixelclock. Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: erik.hamera@novell.com QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com I have at my home two old PCI "ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27)" graphics cards in xinerama and they works in 1280x1024x76Hz (approx 140MHz pixelclock), at log is "Maximum clock: 230.00 MHz", debian sarge, XFree86 4.3.0.1. It works good. I have three exactly the same cards (and one nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] (rev a1)) in SuSE 10.1, x86_64. Firstly the xserver cannot initialize these cards. I have found new rpm (I cannot repeat this find now) and now it works, but it says to log "Maximum clock: 125.00 MHz" and cannot drive my fixed sync screens (1280x1024x76Hz). I have tried to force pixelclock by xorg.conf, but no effect. I can put ssh access to someone from suse to the machine, but it is my workstation now :-). Section "Device" DacSpeed 150 ..

Such old cards often can only do about 80 Mhz in 32bit and a 125 MHz limit in 16bit sounds reasonable for me. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=208237 ------- Comment #2 from erik.hamera@novell.com 2006-10-09 07:58 MST ------- Thank you. I have had 24bit per pixel (125MHz) in suse and 16bit per pixel (230MHz) in debian. I have 16 bpp in suse now and it works very good. (II) ATI(1): Maximum clock: 230.00 MHz It is not xorg's bug. Mea maxima culpa. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
