There isn't anything obviously wrong with your logs, apart from the usual errors and warnings from disabling DRI. What happens with "no_dri"="no", and NoDDC on?
Could you also post your current kernel config ( /usr/src/<kernel version>/.config )?
Edit: You could give the older drivers a try I suppose, but these ones should work.

You could try removing radeon framebuffer support, but I doubt that'd make a difference. Other than that it seems fine.
Have you tried adding "pci=noacpi" to your boot options? I've got a GeForce3 in another system that refuses to work without it, so it can help occasionally.

There is in my radeon 3 connectors
CRT, DVI and svhs do I understand right that this puts First one to DVI?
I did try put monitor to DVI connector but black, display issamsung syncmaster 957p
from logfile:
| Code: |
(II) fglrx(0): Primary head:
Monitor -- NONE
Connector -- DVI-I
DAC Type -- TVDAC/ExtDAC
TMDS Type -- Internal
DDC Type -- DVI_DDC
(II) fglrx(0): Secondary head:
Monitor -- TMDS
Connector -- VGA
DAC Type -- Primary
TMDS Type -- NONE
DDC Type -- VGA_DDC
|
no acpi did same old black screen...

Is the logfile "XFree86.0.log.ati2912" you've posted complete? It seems to get cut off early. Try 2.9.12 with UseInternalAGPGART=no and no_dri=no. Using no_dri=yes isn't really useful in finding out what the problem is, since it disables acceleration, it was just to check if it'd load that way.

I've been following this thread closely 'cause I'm trying to configure the same card (Radeon 9200 8x AGP).
Just out of curiosity, I assume the Character Device settings for the 2.4.20 kernel should be "AGP Support" (loaded as module) and "VIA Chipset Support", correct? Or, is this an i810? |

I have vanilla sources 2.4.22 with Asrock k7s8x board (sis chipset), agp is 8x also
<M> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
[*] Generic SiS support
My whole kernel .config file:
http://pumo.homelinux.org/files/omat_testit/xfree5/dotconfig
nice to hear that I am not onlyone with this problem  |

No, you're not.
I've tried every trick I could find on the forums. Can't seem to get module agpgart to load and drm gets disabled every time. My frame rate averages around 312fps.
In my case I'm running a "Chipset: "ATI RV280 Ya (R9200)" (Chipset = 0x5961)" (according to my XFree log).
If I had known it would be this much of a headache I'd have bought an nvidia. That probably would have only resulted in trading one headache for another.
Let me know if you get anywhere and I'll do the same. |

I have same card:
(--) fglrx(0): Chipset: "ATI RV280 Ya (R9200)" (Chipset = 0x5961)
I do have agpgart loaded lsmod:
fglrx 161160 0 (unused)
agpgart 14064 0 (unused)
same thing if you get working let me know !
maybe it's not yet radeon time to work  it would be nice play scorceh3d and run other programs that uses 3d...
maybe I try one more time and compile agpgart in to the kernel. |

It still seems to be stopping somewhere in the middle of the DDC section. Try it with the same config file, but with Option "NoDDC" uncommented.

You're one step closer than I am.
Somewhere on this forum I remember reading that the agpgart module should be loaded BEFORE the fglrx. Have you tried that?
Wedge_, thanks for sticking with us here... I hope we can get around this. I'd hate to think I spent $99USD and can't get accel. |

Those logs are really strange, I've never seen it fail at that point before. Try setting "IgnoreEDID" to "on". Does anything happen if you leave it at the black screen for 5 minutes? Have you got a non-standard monitor setup that you could try changing? Another thing you could do is try a 2.6 kernel, and see if that makes a difference (emerge development-sources or mm-sources).

I don't want try 2.6 kernel yet, I think that more problems comes with that... |

If your motherboard allows it, try changing the AGP rate to 4x instead of 8x.

L oooottsss of thanks !!!!
you're great Wedge_ !
I did put AGP from automatic to 4x and there it was.
conf and log:
http://pumo.homelinux.org/files/omat_testit/xfree6/XF86Config_WORKS
http://pumo.homelinux.org/files/omat_testit/xfree6/XFree86.0.log_WORKS
| Code: |
bash-2.05b$ glxgears
7081 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1416.200 FPS
7951 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1590.200 FPS
7957 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1591.400 FPS
7955 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1591.000 FPS
|
runs great (or better than till to this point  ) only black areas have some white noise but that doesn't matter.
Next I might try update ati-drivers, even fact is "If is it works, don't fix it"
Thanks a lot ! |

Ah, finally  Actually, that was why I suggested a 2.6 kernel - I think they may have better support for AGP 8x. If you're going to upgrade to 3.2.5, remember to run fglrxconfig again, it'll add some more options that aren't supported in the 2.9 drivers. Great to hear it's finally working though

What error(s) do you get when you try to load the module? (check the output of dmesg too)

Which motherboard do you have?

Here's my specs. This is a new system (just upgraded from a 600Mhz P3 last weekend).
Shuttle AV49N motherboard
Intel P4 2.4GHz
ATI Radeon 9200 8x/4x AGP (128MB DDR)
gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r7
xfree-4.3.0
ati-drivers-3.2.5
Do the 2.4 kernels support 8x AGP?
As far as the dmesg about aperture size, is aperture size set in BIOS? The only BIOS aperture setting I can find for AGP is set at 64MB. Don't know if this is correct or not. |
