beta 3 (fisher) When I startx the monitor goes into power save mode and the system must be issued a hard reset. I have the following setup: - ATI Radeon VIVO 64 - SuperMicro 370DE6 motherboard, based on ServerWorks III HE-SL chipset - 512 MB of RAM - dual P3 1GHz processors I think this may be related to problem 25297--there testing the Radeon during a graphical install also hung the system (but did not place the monitor into power-save mode). After encountering that problem I did a fresh install but did not test the video)--I did check the /etc/XF86Config-4 file before starting X and it did look okay, however. See also 25298 for a problem with Radeon during the text installer.
after rebooting I noticed that the agpgart and radeon modules weren't loaded... loading them gives this error: # modprobe agpgart /lib/modules/2.4.0-0.99.11smp/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.0-0.99.11smp/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.0-0.99.11smp/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.0-0.99.11smp/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o: insmod agpgart failed [root@rockne agp]# modprobe radeon [drm:radeon_init] *ERROR* Cannot initialize agpgart module. /lib/modules/2.4.0-0.99.11smp/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.o: init_module: Cannot allocate memory Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.0-0.99.11smp/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.0-0.99.11smp/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.0-0.99.11smp/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.o: insmod radeon failed some more info.... from dmesg: Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 439M agpgart: no supported devices found.

Looking through old bugs, saw that this one didn't get dealt with earlier. Is this still a problem with Red Hat Linux 7.1?
