Hi!

I have a problem with the above card: Xfree 4.0 doesn't recognize it,
although it gives this card as one of the available cards on startup. So
now I am back to fbdev, only with the new server. Anybody has this card
running with the ati or r128 driver? The xserver-xfree86 package is the
current one from testing.

bye, Georg

This is too vague, please provide the relevant portion(s) of the log and at
least the Device Section of your XF86Config, if you run aty128fb in console,
etc. etc.

It's the same for Rage128 cards BTW.

The device section:

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Rage 128 RE (PCI)"
Driver "ati"
EndSection

cat /proc/fb gives

0 ATY Rage128

lspci gives

00:10.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 RE

The ati driver just gives a list of supported drivers and then gives a
"No screen found" due to the fact that it can't find the correct driver.
The fun is, it gives ATI Rage 128 RE as the first card in the listing of
the supported cards ...

The correct message is:

(II) ATI: ATI driver (version 6.2.3) for chipsets: ati
(II) R128: Driver for ATI Rage 128 chipsets: ATI Rage 128 RE (PCI),
ATI Rage 128 RF (AGP), ATI Rage 128 RG (AGP), ATI Rage 128 RK (PCI),
ATI Rage 128 RL (AGP), ATI Rage 128 Pro PD (AGP),
ATI Rage 128 Pro PF (AGP), ATI Rage 128 Mobility LE (PCI),
ATI Rage 128 Mobility LF (AGP), ATI Rage 128 Mobility MF (AGP),
ATI Rage 128 Mobility ML (AGP)
(II) RADEON: Driver for ATI Radeon chipsets: ATI Radeon QD (AGP),
ATI Radeon QE (AGP), ATI Radeon QF (AGP), ATI Radeon QG (AGP)
(WW) R128: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:16:0) found
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

The server itself detects the card rigth:

(II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libscanpci.a
(--) PCI: (0:16:0) ATI Rage 128 RE rev 0, Mem @ 0x88000000/26, 0x80900000/14, I/O @ 0x2000/8
