I have an ATI RAGE FURY MAXX 64Mb graphics card and Xfree86 3.3.6. Truth is I could never make it work, I tryed all alternatives, even tryed the Xfree86 4.0. Can you anyone tell me if there's a way out of this? I certainly wouldn't want to buy one of XIG drivers. Thanks, Christian Burger FROM: Curtis Magyar DATE: 06/21/2000 15:16:12 SUBJECT: [Dri-users] Rage 128 - All In Wonder 128 Pro - This chipset is making me crazy. After a couple of weeks of using XF 3.3.6, I decided to install XF 4.0, to correct the many bugs I was experiencing in the SVGA server (even with the patch in `fixes`). The binary & source releases at xfree86.org, caused a very significant bug to appear. When I started X, then switched to a console and back, my screen appears in very weird shades of green/yellow/black. Now that I have installed the DRI-CVS trunk, (June 20th) after I start X, That same screen apears when I try to ctrl-alt-f1, or switch to any other console. (IE a colour distorted representation of my X screen). When I switch back to my X screen, each window is redrawn, and appears in it`s correct pallet. I`m not sure which is better at this point, access to text console, or access to X. Can`t I have both somehow? - The r128 module modprobes correctly, and xdpyinfo reports GLX, SGI-GLX, and XFree86-DRI. - Running 2.4.0test1 Also I seem to be unable to slect 32 bpp despite the DRI User Guide`s suggestion "You may also set your screen depth to 32 for 32bpp mode". X fails on startup siting the depth 32 display subsection as an unsupported mode. Thanks in advance. I hope this is the right place to ask for help. 8^) -- Curtis Magyar cum...@ho... |
