 |
|
Okay, I've read past posts about Radeon cards and XFree. One major problem is that a lot of the information conflicts. So, I got most of my information out of a thread called "Radeon 9700 Success!!!"
I followed it step-by-step to no avail. I even printed out his XF86Config-4 and compared it to my own line by line. No luck.
The closest I've been able to getting X working displays the following error information:
| Code: |
(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found
(EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENODEV"
(EE) fglrx(0): connot init AGP
|
If someone can help me get this working, I will be most greatly appreciative. |

| have you set up agp in your kernel (builtin or module)? |

What motherboard and AGP chipset do you have?

I don't think P4X400 has AGP support in any recent kernel, unless there's a patch set floating around that simple Googling can't find.
That explains the AGP error you are seeing I think.
You'll need a kernel that supports your chipset. Patching 2.4.21-pre? shouldn't be too hard if you want to get your hands dirty and you are comfortable doing so, all that needs to be done is adding the bridge ID the PCI ID list and a few changes to reflect that in the AGP backend so that it can detect your chipset.

Well, I'm glad that I least finally know what the problem is! Thanks so much for your reply.
As far as patching the kernel, I might take a peek at the source out of curiosity, but I doubt I'll be making any changes since I lack any experience with kernel hacking.
Thanks anyway! |
