From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: Just performed a Workstation installation of Fedora Core 2 and updated it with the latest packages using up2date -u. However, my Sapphire (ATI) Radeon 9800SE graphics card is not recognised and X is therefore defaulting to the generic VESA driver. I've tried to manually choose the graphics card using the GNOME Display settings and setting it to the ATI Radeon 9800 card option. However, when the X server is restarted it's defaulting back to the VESA driver. How may I resolve this problem? Thanks. Best regards, Morten Jensen Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Fedora Core 2 with an ATI Radeon 9800SE graphics card Actual Results: Defaulting to VESA driver. Accelerated 2D speed and 3D won't be availabile for games etc. Expected Results: 'Native' support for graphics card. Additional info: N/A
Woops, checked the Xorg.log and found that it correctly identified the graphics card after all, while the Display application always seems to default to VESA - possibly because the ATI Radeon 9800 SE is not in its list of recognised graphics cards?
Please attach the output of the command: lspci -vn Once we've got that, I'll update the hardware database with a mapping for the Radeon 9800 SE. Thanks for the report.
Never got your PCI ID, but I've updated many ATI devices in rawhide hwdata. Closing as fixed in rawhide. If your particular card doesn't autodetect in FC3 test2 or later, add the information requested in comment #2 above and reopen for review. Thanks.
