If that doesn't work, can you please run conntest as described in the

This looks a bit strange.

anything I can do to investigate I will do, but..

- in FreeBSD radeonhd port there is no conntest at all, no utils directory

O-key. Question is: why?

- when I run "make" (as root) in the xf86-video-radeonhd-1.0.0/utils/conntest directory (as written in the README) ,
I get only
/usr/src/xf86-video-radeonhd-1.0.0/utils/conntest# make
make: *** Keine Targets angegeben und keine »make«-Steuerdatei gefunden. Schluss.

You have to configure first.

- when I try to ./configure in the main xf86-video-radeonhd-1.0.0 directory so many other packages are expected I give up

No chance to compile otherwise. Typically an
apt-get install <whatever_is_missing>
is enough to fix this. Eventually you need -devel packages as well, I
don't remember how Debian packages are structured.

I will go back to FreeBSD and send you more log and sysctl and pciconf data

That won't help. We really need conntest output to fix this :-(

P.S. Please keep this on the mailing list. Thanks

Matthias

just to give a feedback for now:
- will try further,
- but at the moment I am in a dead end, because (back to FreeBSD...):
- I found out: because I used the FreeBSD-normal "make install clean" in one command ,
I missed a warning message from make,

when I afterwards deleted the "work" directory and ran "make" alone , I got the warning:
"WARNING: Cannot build the rhd_conntest programm due to missing dependancies.
*IF* you want to build rhd_conntest, install development packages of both pciutils
and zlib/libz and re-run the configure (or autogen) script"
- installing both pciutils and zlib/libz did not help, and special development versions
are not available for current and stable FreeBSD 7.0 according to www.freebsd.org
