Hi,
I recently purchased an MSI RS480 board and AMD Athlon 64 Fortunately, the installation had the SATA modules and I didnt have any trouble with the harddisks. But the display is still on framebuffer. I tried changing the driver to ati and raedon, but it didnt help, the X server dies saying no screens found. I am not sure if there is any other module that need to be installed. I guess someone on this list must have run into similar problems. If so, please help me.
Is this a RS480 IGP, or do you have a graphic card in the PCIe slot? I've a MSI S270, which is a RS480 IGP (Radeon Xpress 200M) based laptop. What I did is to tell the ati driver a fake ChipID 21600 (in the Driver section) to force it to use a X300 driver. It works for me, since the Xpress 200M is close to the X300. The better solution probably is to download X11R7 (or 6.9), since this version is supposed to know about the correct ChipID, and also contains some preliminary 3D stuff. SuSE 9.3 lspci on the RS480 IGP doesn't recognise anything from the RS480 integrated stuff: 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 5950 0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 5a3f 0000:00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4374 0000:00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4375 0000:00:13.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4373 0000:00:14.0 SMBus: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4372 (rev 10) 0000:00:14.1 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4376 0000:00:14.3 ISA bridge: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4377 0000:00:14.4 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4371 0000:00:14.5 Multimedia audio controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4370 (rev 01) 0000:00:14.6 Modem: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4378 (rev 01) 0000:00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration 0000:00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 0000:00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller 0000:00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control 0000:01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 5955 0000:02:03.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
