problem with a radeon 9200SE

[fooboid]

Hi,

after following the howto post on radeon configuration by spekulatius, I am left with one unsolved installation problem:

I have the following error in my XF86config log relating to the initialisation of agp :
<snip>

(II) fglrx(0): FBMM auto alloc for area (0,0)-(1408,1050) (front color buffer - assumption)

</snip>

perhaps relevant is the antiquity of the motherboard i am using -- tyan tiger with dual pII 450s -- 440bx chipse. My card is an ati radeon 9200SE.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you post your dmesg output?

wedge_: btw, i just read your radeon FAQ, and checked the section:
<snip>
Question 4.2: When I try to start X, it fails with a message saying it was 'unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENODEV"'
...
You have AGP support compiled as modules but don't have the modules loaded. In a 2.4 kernel, you just need to load the "agpgart" module.
...
</snip>

yes, this is true, i dont have the agpgart module loaded. So, I tried "insmod agpgart; startx"
and get a wonderfull inescapable crash...
(btw, all the while, i have been using the xf86 config from spekulatius' post ie:
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no")

[Wedge_]

When you load the agpgart module, you should get a few extra lines in your dmesg, starting with "agpgart:". What do they say? You could also try setting "UseInternalAGPGART" to "yes", although there's a good chance the driver won't support your board.

looks ok, though looks can be deceiving...

(thanks for the assitance, btw )

Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 439M
agpgart: Detected Intel 440BX chipset
agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xf8000000

[Wedge_]

Yep, it looks like it's being detected OK. What exactly happens when you load the module and start X? (with UseInternalAGPGART=no) When the screen goes black, can you get back to the console with CTRL-ALT-F1 etc? After you've rebooted, does the old XFree log contain anything interesting? Does running it with UseInternalAGPGART=yes make any difference?

I also tried:
XF86Config:
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "yes"

insmod agpgart; startx;

and then crashed my machine miserably, yet again.

(am considering testing the aerodynamics of the radeon card -- i think i could throw it quite a long way )

[fooboid]

no, the crash seems like a real one:
alt-F keys do nothing.
ctrl-alt-backspace does nothing.
monitor stops getting signal and turns off.
i tried to see where its crashing. heres the last bit of the
xf86 log file from when i was using
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "yes"
and loading the agpgart module.

[28] 0 0 0x000003c0 - 0x000003df (0x20) IS[B]
</snip>

i assume the crash happens just after the line starting with [28].
dont know if the log gets a good chance to flush to the disk before system hangs though.
I will check if this is the case when using
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
but it is a rather timely test as my old beast of a machine takes a long time to boot...

Well fooboid, I hope you are still watching this thread.
I am using a tyan tiger 133 motherboard with dual 800MHz P3s. I too have been fighting with the radeon Black Screen of Death issue for a while (ATI Radeon 9000 Pro). Well, I have fixed that problem, and I think it is a motherboard/bios issue. Go into your bios and turn off (disable) the AGP 4x option. Then follow all the suggestions of the various threads for getting fglrx working. I have the 2.6.3 kernel with ati-drivers-3.7.6 working. Glxgears posts 2020 FPS now (as opposed to 80 FPS without acceleration). Sure you lose potential performance from only running at AGP 2x, but it is better than no acceleration.
BTW, the tyan tiger 133 has a via chipset and not 440bx. I am not sure if you have a tyan tiger 100 or 133. The tyan tiger 133 has some APIC usb probelms under linux.
Cheers.
