I have exactly the same problem with a laptop at work : Dell Latitude CPx J650GT with ATI M1 8Mo ESS Maestro3 Regards Jean-Yves I think this is related to the busmastering issue on Dell laptops. Enabling busmastering with 'setpci' fixes this if I'm correct, however the commands are cryptic.. lemme see if I can find them.. Taken from bug #29966 - try this before running XFree.. Let me know if it fixes the problem. dev=01:00.0 # change as appropriate echo Enabling bus mastering on device $dev setpci -s $dev 4.w=$(printf %x $((0x$(setpci -s $dev 4.w)|4))) dev=00:00.0 echo Enabling bus mastering on host bridge $dev setpci -s $dev 4.w=$(printf %x $((0x$(setpci -s $dev 4.w)|4))) Hum... That will not correct the problem... because I can run Guinness, Fisher, Wolverine on this laptop... But I can only install graphically it with Guinness or Fisher... and I install it in text mode for Wolverine... But after the installation I could run Xfree without any kind of problem (I just save my XF86Config-4 on a floppy because If I remember well the XFConfigurator does'nt recognize very well my screen (Hor 30-60....and so on)) I just precise this problem is during the install only.... I you want I could make some try at home if you put some new files on an ftp... for my personnal desktop... and after It will work i will try again with the laptop. Regards Jean-Yves Our installer team-lead thinks we should really fix this before next release. I will test on my Dell laptop tomorrow. Hmm... could this be related to the recent kernel fix for R128? No. The installer doesn't use DRI. The first bug works here now (r128)... for the second issue (laptop), please open a separate bug. |
