The via driver has never been built or shipped before on AMD64 systems, because there wasn't any AMD64 systems with via video before. Do you have an AMD64 or EM64T motherboard with onboard via video? If so, please attach your X server log and config file for us to review. Thanks in advance. >The via driver has never been built or shipped before on AMD64 >systems, because there wasn't any AMD64 systems with via video >before. There is a VIA Chipset for AMD64 here: http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/chipsets/k8-series/k8m800/ An products based on it (those I know ;-) ): http://www.shuttle.com/hq/product/barebone/specification.asp?B_id=34 http://www.dfi.com.tw/Product/xx_product_spec_details_r_us.jsp?PRODUCT_ID=3060&CATEGORY_TYPE=INFINITY&SITE=US http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=621 >Do you have an AMD64 or EM64T motherboard with onboard via video? >If so, please attach your X server log and config file for us >to review. I had a test system -- I'll build it together again on monday and will provide some data here. But after reporting this bug I found out that even the 32-bit FC3 driver doesn't work on it (as in Suse 9.2 32bit and 64bit also). Wondering why, cause http://freedesktop.org/~xorg/X11R6.8.1/doc/via.4.html claims the K8M800 is supported. Created attachment 107163 [details]

attachment id=107166 / comment #6 is just FYI: This is a working 32 bit driver from http://www.viaarena.com/downloads/drivers/video/K8M800/k8mxf40044_20040511.zip This is the type of change that really requires X.Org to make first in the upstream sources. Please file a feature request in the X.org bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component, requesting the 'via' driver be enabled on AMD64 for CVS head, as there are AMD64 boards out there which have this chipset on them now. The driver may not be fully 64bit clean, having not been tested previously on 64bit architectures, but once it's enabled on X.Org CVS head for a while, presumeably any kinks in it will get ironed out over the next development cycle. Once you've filed your request to X.org bugzilla, paste the URL here and we will track the status in the upstream tracker. Thanks in advance. Reported upstream: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1973 Thanks Mike. Ok, adding to our internal tracker, and setting status to "UPSTREAM". Thanks. |
