Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've been trying to get 3D working on a amd64(pci-3e) mobo that has an ATI 1900 |
| 4 |
video card: |
| 5 |
TI Technologies Inc R580 [Radeon X1900 XT] Primary |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I first setup the radeon driver and it crawled with bzflag (the 3D software I |
| 8 |
test with). |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
So I've been trying to get the ati-drivers to work. This web page seems to |
| 11 |
indicate it should work and provide 3D accelerataton on linux: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
https://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.26.18.html#181179 |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I've been trying various version of x11-drm libdrm and ati-drivers. |
| 16 |
Somehow I've gotten the drivers so hosed that starx does makes the screen |
| 17 |
go black and I have to ssh in just to reboot. Killing off processes |
| 18 |
does not seem to be effective at regaining control of the screen. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Here the latest error I get, revdep-rebuild does not help: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.18-gentoo-r4' |

The above crash_log is when trying to downgrade to the ati-drivers |
| 46 |
from 8.30.3-r1 to 8.27.10-r1. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Any ideas? |

|

Assume nothing as the last few days has been an exercise if futility |
| 51 |
for me.... |
