Hello. I am using XFree86 4.1.0 and I tried to update my Radeon drivers to the newest drivers which are provided in DRI homepage. I installed them as said in a README file in the same site. When I restarted XFree it complained "screen not found". I studied the newest XFree log file and there was error messages when loading Radeon module. --- nips --- XFree86 Version 4.1.0 (Red Hat Linux release: 4.1.0-15) / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510) Release Date: 2 June 2001 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ) Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.7-0.13.1smp i686 [ELF] Build Host: stripples.devel.redhat.com . . .

(EE) No drivers available. Fatal server error: no screens found --- naps --- No other module failed to load. It seems that the version of the module does not match with the version of XFree. Still README said that modules should work with version 4.1.0. README also succest to install Extra package if problem occurs. From where can I found it?

The TCL driver downloadable from ftp://ftp.tungstengraphics.com/dri is the Radeon driver from the tcl-0-0-branch plus this patch.

XFree starts normally and direct rendering is enabled. I tried to play Tribes2 game but a few seconds after the game starts the whole system gets locked up. Only way out is to reset the system. No error messages etc. BR, Teemu -- Teemu Ahola EMail : te...@ra... Mobile: +358 050 5873210 |

No error messages etc. There was a hang under Tribes2 discovered by the DRI development team on March 3rd. This was thought to be only related to the Radeon 7500. You can check your XFree86 log to verify which version of the Radeon you have. You can also try an older version of the Radeon TCL driver: ftp://ftp.tungstengraphics.com/dri/radeon-20020322-i386-Linux.tar.gz If this fixes the problem, please let us know as this would be a new hang introduced by new radeon packet handling in the latest version. -- /\ Jens Owen / \/\ _ je...@tu... / \ \ \ Steamboat Springs, Colorado |

Nope. It did not fix the problem (probably a good news for you :) I quess the version is in this line: --- a cut of XFree86 log --- (--) PCI:*(1:0:0) ATI Radeon QD rev 0, Mem @ 0xd4000000/26, 0xd9000000/19, I/O @ 0xd000/8 --- the end --- I also noticed that in Tux race the edges of the icy areas of tracks are very rough and continually flickering. -- Teemu Ahola EMail : te...@ra...
