Hi folks, so I succumbed to the temptation and purchased a Radeon HD 3850 PCIe card, knowing quite well that the radeonhd driver is very much work in progress. Have tried running the card with radeonhd, radeon, and vesa, but no joy at all :( There's another Radeon 9250 PCI card on my machine, which works without problem with the radeon driver, and DRI is functional.

The entire X-window system is built from git and pretty up-to-date. log files from radeonhd is attached.

Here's a snippet from the log file:

(II) RADEONHD(0): Getting BIOS copy from PCI ROM (EE) RADEONHD(0): rhdAtomGetTables: No AtomBios signature found (II) RADEONHD(0): Query for AtomBIOS Init: failed (--) RADEONHD(0): VideoRAM: 4194303 kByte (II) Loading sub module "i2c"

This seems to be the problem: since your card is seconary (not inited during POST) we need to obtain data from the PCI rom. Appearantly the way we use to make the PCI ROM readable doesn't work on your card any more. Two questions: 1. Did you get this the first time when you tried to start X after a boot? (if not sure could you collect the log you get when you run the card for the first time)? 2. Could you take out the other Radeon card and try again? For the primary card you shouldn't see this problem. Cheers, Egbert. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
