Hej, lspci sees an "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Radeon Mobility 9000" there is nothing about agp in the dmesg buffer... no agpgart module loaded neither. hmm... insmod the agpart.o module gives me an "No such device" error and dies. there are some modules in the /lib/modules/gflrx/build_mod/ directory (=ATI driver). They also refuse to load with unresolved symbols.... (agp3.o, agpgart_be.o, i7505-agp.o fglrx.o...) there is an interesting "patch" subdir there... can/should I patch the stock suse 81 kernel with these??? if so, has anyone compiled them successfully already? or, what about installing a brand new 2.4.20? questions over questions... thx for any suggestions ;) cheers Javor Evstatiev d-con dynamic - communication network 1230 wien, kolpingstrasse 19 office: +43 (1) 616 32 17 60 mobil: +43 (676) 778 33 02 fax: +43 (1) 616 32 17 17 javor.evstatiev@d-con.com http://www.d-con.com/ -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Stefan Voss [mailto:svoss@web.de] Gesendet: Freitag, 24.

Hej list,

I am struggling to get my ati radeon mobility 9000 to work under suse 8.1.

I installed the ATI drivers rpm (for radeon 9000) successfully but X fails.

(ATI has a confusing message about not being able to provide any drivers for "MOBILITY" cards because of blablabla. I wonder what will happen if I go to Gericom and ask them for a linux driver %)

I saw a few postings about r9000 problems on the list archive but not a solution for my problem.

Any ideas? thx 4 any help in advance,

cheers,

here my xfree log:

(II) fglrx(0): [drm] created "fglrx" driver at busid "PCI:1:0:0" [...] (EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENODEV" (EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP

Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting

The message suggests a problem when initializing the AGP. Maybe you have to make sure that the agpgart module is loaded before you start X11. Try "modprobe agpgart" as root before starting X11. If the agpgart module is loaded correctly you should find the following messages with "dmesg" or in /var/log/messages ~> dmesg | grep -i agp Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 439M agpgart: Detected Intel i845 chipset agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0x60000000 You also should have the following device file. crw------- 1 root root 10, 175 2002-09-09 22:24 /dev/agpgart Regards, Stefan -- Stefan Voss (privat: voss at yoda.in-berlin.de geschaeftlich: svoss at web.de) -- Um die Liste abzubestellen, schicken Sie eine Mail an: suse-laptop-unsubscribe@suse.com Um eine Liste aller verfügbaren Kommandos zu bekommen, schicken Sie eine Mail an: suse-laptop-help@suse.com
