What does `lspci -v` give on this machine for the video controller? lspci -v gives the following information about the video controller (whether you install normally or by using the workaround I suggested above under "additional information"): 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro AGP 1X (rev 5c) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: Dell Computer Corporation: Unknown device 0081 Flags: bus master, VGA palette snoop, stepping, medium devsel, latency 32 Memory at fc000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] I/O ports at fc00 [size=256] Memory at fbfff000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [50] AGP version 1.0 Mike, do you know about any problems with these cards and XFree 4? <ping mharris> Chris Kloiber has sent me a patch from IBM however that presumeably fixes some Mach64 problems, but I do not have enough information to know if it should be applied or not. I tend not to blindly apply patches without knowing what they do, and what they were made against. I am in contact with him about it however. You might want to query bugzilla and see if any open Mach64 and/or Rage problems that may be open sound similar to this one perhaps. I'll update here if I discover anything, or have a patch avail. Mike -- I know I saw something fly by about fixes for some ATI adaptors commonly used on Dell and IBM boxes... do you have those packages on your people page? Closing due to inactivity, please reopen if you continue to have problems. Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
