Radeon X300 and XFree86-4.6.0

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings,

I needed a simple and inexpensive video card to get
my system up and running, and so I acquired the Sapphire
Radeon X300.  Supposedly, this card, which is based on the
ATI Radeon RV370 chip, should function with XFree86 but the
server fails to load.

Here are the relevant lines from the log:

[...]

(II) PCI: 03:00:0: chip 1002,5b60 card 174b,0610 rev 00 class 03,00,00 hdr 80
(II) PCI: 03:00:1: chip 1002,5b70 card 174b,0611 rev 00 class 03,80,00 hdr 00
(II) PCI: End of PCI scan

[...]

(II) Primary Device is: PCI 03:00:0
(WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:3:0:1) found
(EE) No devices detected.

The warning should be of no consequence because this card has
two output connectors but only the primary connector is being
used.  The other is not attached to any monitor or display.

The relevant XF86Config lines are:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon X300"
Driver "radeon"
Screen 0
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Second Radeon Port"
Driver "radeon"
Screen 1
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen1"
Device "Radeon X300"
Monitor "G225f"
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "800x600" "1280x1024" "1600x1200" "2048x1536"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection


Is XFree86-4.6.0 able to drive this card?  Is there a way to
configure XF86Config to get this card to function?

Or am I just wasting time with this hardware?
