 |
|
Hello, I have an ati rage 128 graphics card on an asus CUV4x mainboard w/ a Pentium III coppermine processor. I am currently using kernel version 2.6.5-gentoo-r1 and XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1.
I have been getting weird errors with my graphics. Most screensavers don't work. I can run atunnel for about 1 seccond before my graphics locks up. At this point my computer still works, except that the screen display remains locked and frozen. I need to ssh into the machine to reboot. Also, aggpart keeps putting my card into 1x mode, even though the card and the mainboard are both capable of 4x. I am also concerned with a more than slow glx gears.
Here is all revelant information:
| Code: |
# lspci -v

I'm guessing agp version 2.0 is capable of 4x, but agpgart insists on 1x:
| Code: |
# tail -n 100 /var/log/messages|grep agpgart
Jul 19 18:44:19 bing165 agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0.
Jul 19 18:44:19 bing165 agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:00:00.0 into 1x mode

The problem seems also to lie in glx, which is not working up to expectations:
| Code: |
# glxinfo

display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI

I have direct rendering enabled at the kernel level, and I have all the required lines in my XFree86Config :
| Code: |
Section "Device"
Identifier "** ATI Rage 128 based (generic) [r128]"
Driver "r128"
VideoRam 32768
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
...
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection |
I would appreciate it if anyone at all could figure out the problem w/ my graphics card. Thanks in advance.

I am using a ATI Rage 128 as well. I have no problems with the card. I have tested several screen savers and they all seem to work fine. I am running a 2.0GHz P4 on a Compaq Motherboard .I am running 2.6.8-rc2-love1 for my kernel right now. I am also using Xorg instead of X-Free.
Here is the output of some of glxinfo on my system:

My glxgears score is as follows (this is with a 16 bit screen depth).
| Code: | 5795 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1159.000 FPS
5794 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1158.800 FPS
|
My card is being put into 4x mode:
| Code: | agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0.
agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:00:00.0 into 4x mode
agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:01:00.0 into 4x mode
|
In my xorg.conf file I have GLX and DRI enabled. My config for my video card is:
| Code: | Section "Device"
Identifier "Card1"
VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc"
BoardName "Rage 128 Pro"
Driver "r128"
Option "AGPFastWrite" "true"
Option "AGPMode" "4"
EndSection
|
For the kernel configuration I have my motherboard agp controller (i845G = i8xx) selected for agpgart and rage128 selected for direct rendering manager. Both are configured as built-in modules.
Hope some of that is useful to you.
