I have exactly this problem as well.

I have the radeon card, even with the latest cvs check out, or with the offical xfree 4.02 release, i have this problem. I also have an AMD irongate chipset (well at least it detected as such on boot).

Anybody figured this out yet ??

Can i help figure this out ??

Have Irongate Chipset detected in Kernel Init, Radeon QD, and no clue where to turn. This bug is replicable with the same results each time, which basically includes all options disabled. I would like to be able to play Q3, but apparently, there is no way to do that because of this bug.

Anyone out there, help.

I have an Asus K7M with an AMD Irongate and I have the same problem...
With or without dri support, it's hanging hard on X start (so it does not seem to be dri related, but an agpgart issue).
The only way to have it working is the NoAccel option...

If I can help in any way, contact me.

Ben.

I have:

FIC SD-11 (AMD 751 / VIA 686A chipset)
AMD Athlon 700
AMI Bios
Radeon AIW

I have the same problem. I can only get X to start with
the "NoAccel" option.

I'd like to help any way possible...if there's a log or
something that someone needs, please let me know!

Thanks,

Andy

Also experiencing complete lockups whenever I startx.
- ASUS A7M266 MB, AMD 1200 CPU
- FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE
- XFree86 4.0.2
- Radeon QD

Options NoAccel doesn't seem to help anything. Card
performs like a dream under Win2k.

Hardware
Gigatebyte 71XE (AMD 751/756 chipset)
Radeon 32MB SDR

Software
Linux Mandrake 7.2
X 4.0.2
kernel 2.4.3
radeon-20010415-i386-Linux.tar.gz (via install.sh)

Problem
X kills the machine dead
Monitor thinks the machine has been turned off.
Keyboard is completely dead (no LEDs come on - AltSysrqSUB doesn't work).
Only by reseting the machine can you get anywhere.

Works flawlessly under MS Win '95 - Not a HW problem?

cheers

- ASUS A7M266 MB, AMD 1333 CPU
- Redhat 7.1 linux
- Radeon QD 64MB DDR
- First tried XFree86-4.0.2 updated with 4.0.3
- then tried radeon-20010425-i386-Linux.tar.gz

100% lockup every time. Is there any debug code I could
try,
with serial console maybe? I am willing to work with this
but
it might be faster if I got some pointers first! Thanks.

I GOT IT TO WORK, using XFree 4.0.3 + radeon-20010504-linux-
i386.tar.gz + Extras-linux-i386.tar.gz !!!!!

Sys: K7-600, ASUS K7M, ATI Radeon 64MB VIVO, Halloween 7
(RedHat-based), Kernel 2.4.4

Server uses automatically the 8bpp color depth, but can be
forced to use another (e.g. "XFree86 -depth 16"), but
trying depths higher than 8 bits causes the X-Server to
crash and my monitor to protect itself by switching
off......WHY!?

Anyone able to post a working solution?

Andreas.

I had the same problem with:
ASUS A7M266
Athlon 1000
Radeon64VIVO
AMD 761 Northbridge (based on Irongate 751)
VIA VT82C686 Southbridge

You have to comment out the register RADEON_SOFT_RESET_HDP in /xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ati/radeon_accel.c in and for DRI in /xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel/radeon_cp.c (with the | before the register)

awsome, that commenting out of the soft reset register
thing worked perfectly for me. my server absolutely never
crashes on startup, it even loads faster (at least it
seems like it does). Is there anyway you can have dri
automatically not use this register if you are using an
irongate (meaning runtime, not compile time, detection)?
Maybe a patch or and #ifdef would be a better idea. Any
suggestions?

I've tried this patch and it seems to work (I'll do some
soak testing tonight).

I have a gigabyte 71X and a Radeon VE 32 MB DDR. Make sure
you increase your AGP Aperture to 128 or 256 MB.

Actually I got this problem solved via editing the X-Source, the way, "nobody" described in his post (Date:
2001-07-02 12:27):

You have to comment out the register RADEON_SOFT_RESET_HDP in
/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ati/radeon_accel.c in
and for DRI in
/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel/radeo
n_cp.c (with the | before the register)

Well.Ijustsearchedthecodeandcommentedoutalllinescontaining"RADEON_SOFT_RESET_HDP".(Mind
the |'s !)

Now it works fine. xf86cfg has successfully set up my XF86Config. I only had to configure it to use 24bpp

My specs: Kernel: 2.4.5
XFree86: 4.1.0
Distribution: Halloween 7 (Redhat 7 based)
PC: Asus K7M, Athlon 600, 512MB SDRAM, Ati Radeon 64MB DDR VIVO AGP

I'm compiling the new DRI CVS / X Source for XFree86 (to
update the driver(s) for my Radeon Xwin). What is
the "driver" file(s) that it makes? Wouldn't it be easier
for the user to just overwrite the old files with the new
ones that someone else has built instead of rebuilding the
source or is there an easier way to just build the files
you need?

Forgot to mention that:

I am having the same prob's noted here with my Radeon 64MB
DDR VIVO with Kernel 2.4.9 and XFree86 4.1 (Mandrake
Distro).

Hey...that fix didn't work. u-boot, would ya mind
elaborating on exactly what you did?

Easiest way to fix this prob?

Download the latest XFree 4.1 Source Code and the DRI:

http://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.1.0/source/
(save to /usr/src/dri/xc/)

/usr/src/dri/xc/tar -zxvf *.tar.gz

ftp://dri.sourceforge.net/pub/dri/dri-snapshot-
current.tar.gz
(save to /usr/src/)

/usr/src/tar -zxvf dri-snapshot-current.tar.gz

then cd /usr/src/dr/xc/xc
make World (I had some errors with SIS, just rem them out
of it's Makefile as this is for Radeon)
make install

Hope this could be of some use...

Cheers.

I got mine working with LM8.1

Hardware
Gigabyte 71XE4 (AMD 751/756 chipset)
Radeon 32MB SDR Software

Linux Mandrake 8.1

Default install then just commented out a few options in XF86Config DRM is working.
