OK, I went for it anyway, however my 3d accel for some reason sometimes freezes the computer. Has anyone else seen this with a Radeon 7000? Tom

The screen froze sometimes when I was running 4.2. I could fix it by reducing the agp from 4x to 2x in the bios. Maybe it depends on the option in your XF86Config: #Option "NvAGP" "1" # use nvidia agp #Option "NvAGP" "0" # disable agp #Option "NvAGP" "3" # try 2 than 1 #Option "NvAGP" "2" # use agpgart

All well and fine when running an Nvidia chipset, but he is using an ATI Radeon and the above sections will not help him in this case :(. Perhaps he may need to check the DRI section? I don't have an ATI though...But the readme that you can download mentions DRI (and its in a seperate directory, so may have been missed). Matt

------------------------ Tom, I'll ask the obvious question first. After installing the new 4.3, did you bother to run sax2 from the konsole without X running? If not you probably should and initiate 3D there in the settings. If you have already done this, then you might want to check on the xfree86 mail archives as I seem to remember seeing a mail about this on a 7500 ATI, but sadly don't remember what was said about it all. The 7000 is well supported though as is the 7500, so you should get things going pretty easy. There have been several enhancements as well, I understand. I have the ATI 7200 card, but just got back online after a weekend of no power due to an ice storm here, so I have not had a chance yet to look at the 4.3 files.

No freezes yet but lost my 3d totally :-(

I finally went ahead and updated, I was going to put it off but apt kept bugging me about 2 upgrades that I knew were related to Xfree4.3.0. All went well except for 3d (the main reason I was going to stay where I was.) So now I've got a workable display (no better/no worse except for the loss of 3d/GL) basically I'm disappointed but I'm sure a solution will appear. I followed the directions in the readme to the letter. the only error I ran across was at the instructions for installing DRI "install -m 644 -o root -g root gamma.o i810.o i830.o mga.o r128.o radeon.o tdfx.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm" the output showed that gamma.o is not being created/can't be installed. I don't know if this relates to my problem or not. I've gone as far as recompiling my kernel to see if that would help but no luck. SuSE 8.1, kernel 2.4.19-115 w/ win4lin patches, SuSE's XFree86 4.3.0 ATI radeon 7500 LE (clone) Part of the output of xdpyinfo follows: number of extensions: 29 (some not shown for brevity) BIG-REQUESTS DOUBLE-BUFFER GLX LBX MIT-SCREEN-SAVER MIT-SHM RENDER XFree86-DGA XFree86-DRI XFree86-Misc XFree86-VidModeExtension XInputExtension XKEYBOARD XTEST XVideo And from 3Ddiag: Verifying 3D configuration based on XFree86 4 for 3D board "ATI Technologies Inc RV200 QW (1002@5157)": Tests for package "xf86_glx": package ... failed!
