His card is officially called an "ATI Radeon All in Wonder AGP" (I'm filing this for a customer I'm in contact with). His lspci -vb listing: ********** 01:05.0 VGA compatible controler: ATI Technologies, Inc.: unknown device 5144 (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: ATI Technologies, Inc.: unknown device 0299 Flags: bus master, stepping, 66 mhz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 Memory at e8000000 (32-bit prefetchable I/O ports at d800 Memory at e58000000 (32 bit non-prefetchable Capabilities: [58] AGP revision 2.0 Capabilites: [50] Power Management version 2 ********** In my notes I have his subsystem ID as 02AA, but I would trust what he sent me more. /usr/share/kudzu/pcitable lists the main number as an ATI Radeon (Generic), but does not have the subsystem ID. Xconfigurator has an entry for the All in Wonder AGP, but neither of those choices work -- he gets the gray X startup screen, and an immediate hard lock of the system. I'll see if I can't get my hands on one of these to try it out.
The subsystem ID has been confirmed to be 02AA.
Please supply the output of "lspci -vn" for this board. It is most likely not supported currently, but I'll double check once I get the lspci info.
Sorry about the slow response -- was out sick this week. 01:00.0 Class 0300: 1002:5144 Subsystem: 1002:02aa Flags: bus master, stepping, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 Memory at d8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] I/O ports at d800 [size=256] Memory at d7000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K] Expansion ROM at d7fe0000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [58] AGP version 2.0 Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 We now have the card in support if you need it. I did notice something potentially interesting this morning when I plugged it in -- the card does not have VGA-out port. One has to use a DVI-VGA adapter to plug into a VGA monitor. I'm going to tinker with it a bit if I get a chance today or next week and see if I can get it to work. Thanks.
I have 6 Radeon cards, including the one above, and the Radeons all work in all of my machines. I would guess that the BIOS is misconfigured for AGP and/or the motherboard chipset is screwy perhaps. There are known chipset/radeon problems that are motherboard bugs. Could be hitting that. Please attach the complete lspci -v and lspci -vn output for all hardware (file attachments please). Also, I will need the X server log and the config file being used. I may also need /var/log/messages or at least the tail end of it after a problem crash.
I have no problems at all using Radeon All In Wonder on 3 test systems, and have no problems reported by any other users. This is almost certainly a local configuration issue, or a hardware related problem, perhaps a buggy motherboard chipset interaction. Our latest kernels have some workarounds present for some such hardware bugs.
