Hi all!
I have problems with my Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9600 Pro graphics
board.
I have installed the glx1_linux_X4.3.zip package from
http://www.schneider-digital.de/html/body_download_ati.html
and got 2D working fine with the fglrx module.
Unfortunately 3D (after switch2xf86_glx) produces broken output. The
upper half of the screen or window is fine, but the lower is either
completely black (glxgears) or shows only the background (the mountain
range in tuxracer, but not tux and the course itself).
With mesa everything looks fine, but it's of course no real long time
option.
The X packages I have installed (did the SuSE YOU after initial install)
are these:
XFree86-4.3.0-15
XFree86-GLX-4.3.0-15
XFree86-devel-4.3.0-15
XFree86-fonts-75dpi-4.3.0-15
XFree86-fonts-scalable-4.3.0-15
XFree86-libs-4.3.0-42
XFree86-man-4.3.0-15
XFree86-server-4.3.0-63
The important parts of my XF86Config are here:

Anybody similar problems/experiences or ideas what to try next?
If more information is needed I'm happy to provide more details.

I'm not sure if this is the correct mailing list to ask, but how do I
install a Canon i950 printer in SuSE? I use KDE and I successfully have an
Epson640 set up, but there doesn't seem to be any support or information
about newer printers.
Thank you.

Hello
How do I get 3d acceleration of mach64 running on SuSE Linux 8.2? On
SuSE Linux 7.2 I got it running with Sax (XFree86 3.3) and 3Ddiag. On
SuSE Linux 8.2 Sax do not run any more. the output is:
SaX: searching card...done
SaX: scanning failed switching to fallback server
SaX: using XF86_VGA16 for configuration
SaX: start new XF86_VGA16 server
Is there a driver for mach64 for XFree86 4.X?
Bye

I have done a lot of digging around... but I have found no solution to
my G550 Matrox grpahic card causing the whole system to 'Hang' when X is
started (Matrox Forums, mailing lists)... I am running Suse 8.2. I tried
the Support Desk but they where not much use... and now my support time
is at an end.
Mention of IRQ problems have been made in various places, but the PCI
slot that could share the AGP slot IRQ is empty. Anyway my previous Epox
mother board had the same problem, as does my new Abit.
I cannot believe I am the only person to exeprience such a problem.

There is very little documentation available about the newer Matrox
chips. Matrox developed the support for those chips pretty much
themselves. It seems they have pretty much abandoned the driver since
so that it is in a pretty desolate state at the moment.
It definitely needs an audit - but this is difficult to do without
documentation.
There are some reports about hangs linked to DRI.
Do you have DRI enabled? does it work better if you disable it?
Egbert.
