Re: Unusual ATI radeon chip ID

Regis, which driver are you using, radeon? I just installed 4.3.99.6 and ran xf86config, plus tried to mess with the XF86Config file a lot, but still can't get 3d working correctly. With dri (not working), radeon, and glx enabled, glxgears gives me a max of 128 FPS. With 4.3.0 I think I had around 200 FPS. What parts of XF86Config did you modify?

Re: Unusual ATI radeon chip ID

I beleive the latest revision of XFree86 only supports the 2D acceleration features of the IGP chipset. This basically only means you don't have to use VESA mode or explicitly tell XFree that you have another (compatable) chip. It still doesn't solve the problem everyone's trying to overcome here - although it does make scrolling windows (like web browsing) a lot smoother.
