Config file with ATI driver and correct monitor

This is after I changed the driver to ati and updated the monitor to the
correct one.

Detected Config file

This is the config file that was created when first running
system-config-display --reconfig.

autodetected xorg.conf file (vesa found)

Same problem with Radeon 9200 AGP card.  Attached is xorg.conf with vesa. 
Changing to ati works fine.

Pertinent lspci:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200]
(rev  01)
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200]
(Secondary)  (rev 01)
0

During the gui autodetection I noticed that the card was identified as the
(Secondary) one.  No monitor is attached to this output.

log file of ati driver for radeon 9200 AGP

It appears that kudzu might be broken as most of the cards people have
reported so far, are already listed in the radeon.xinf file.  ;o/

I'm waiting for feedback from Bill/Jeremy about the parsing.

Will update after I hear back.

New ati driver responded the same as the previous version of the driver with AGP
radeon 9200:

[root@P4C800ED ~]# rpm -q xorg-x11-drv-ati
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.5.7.3-3
[root@P4C800ED ~]# sysem-config-display --reconfig
[root@P4C800ED ~]# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
        Driver      "kbd"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Driver      "vesa"
[root@P4C800ED ~]# 

(restarted x server here via reboot of computer to confirm...yes, vesa loaded)

[root@P4C800ED ~]# sed -i -e 's|"vesa"|"ati"|' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[root@P4C800ED ~]# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
        Driver      "kbd"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Driver      "ati"
[root@P4C800ED ~]#

(restarted x server here  (ctrl-alt-bs) to confirm .... yes, ati now working)

radeon 9200 AGP log file

I don't know if this means anything or not, but, kudzu -p lists the secondary
port (not being used in my system) of the radeon card first and the primary port
next.  If the driver probs the first kudzu port it finds for a monitor and finds
none, then maybe it decides to configure the vesa driver even tho it does find a
monitor on the primary port.

Same here: (xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.5.7.3-3, system-config-display-1.0.36-1)

The graphics card has two devices (1002:5961 and 1002:5941 (secondary)).
s-c-d chooses "vesa", but "ati" works perfectly. Only 1002:5961 is listed in
radeon.xinf. "kudzu -p -c video" lists 1002:5941 (secondary) first. BTW,
1002:5941 is listed in /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids, which is at least open()ed by
s-c-d.

FC5T3 clean install properly detected radeon 9200 (not even secondary!), allowed
me to set correct resolution and, voila!, booted up beautifully.  First time for
the FC5 series.  Nice work.  

I do wonder tho that it didn't configure dual head.  I am going to play with
dual head now with system-config-display since I have both AGP and PCI radeon
9200s with tube on one and flat panel on the other.

(II) PCI: 01:00:0: chip 1002,5961 card 1002,2002 rev 01 class 03,00,00 hdr 80
(II) PCI: 01:00:1: chip 1002,5941 card 1002,2003 rev 01 class 03,80,00 hdr 00


This is quite odd.  They are reversed from the normal order they're seen in.
Nonetheless, only the class 0300 device is relevent to X.  The class 0380
device is not used by X hardware detection, and is only used by Windows.

Thanks for the update.

Setting status to "RAWHIDE"

Works as expected now: (xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.5.7.3-4, system-config-display-1.0.36-1)

s-c-d chooses "radeon".

Thank you Mike
