ATI RADEON 7500 undetected

[quixalogical]

Good day,

I recently installed an ATI RADEON 7500 PCI graphics controller on my rp3440 and so far the card has gone undetected by my system.

The card is installed in slot 4 and I have the correct Xserver cumulative patch "PHSS_35966".

In SAM and when I run an ioscan the card in not there. Any assistance would be well appreciated.

Also can anyone reccomend a comprehenisive HP-UX book for 11 V2.

Thanks again.

Try this:

# cat /dev/gvid_info
/dev/gvid0

# /opt/graphics/common/bin/setmon -N /dev/gvid0
Device /dev/gvid0 is a ATI Radeon 7000

The ioscan might look similar to this:

graphics 0 0/6/2/0 gvid_core CLAIMED INTERFACE PCI Display (10025159)


Did you read this:

I ran the commands you had suggested these are the result...

# swlist -l patch | grep "Xserver cumulative patch"
# PHSS_35966 1.0 Xserver cumulative patch\par
# cat /dev/gvid_info
cat: Cannot open /dev/gvid_info: No such file or directory
# cat /dev/gvid_info
cat: Cannot open /dev/gvid_info: No such file or directory
# ioscan -fun -C graphics
# smh
sh: smh: not found.
# cat /dev/gvid_info
cat: Cannot open /dev/gvid_info: No such file or directory
# /opt/graphics/common/bin/setmon -N /dev/gvid0
/dev/gvid0: No such file or directory
Failed to open the device file.\par

I have read the document, currently it is my "best friend" complete with pen notes.
Perhaps I am missing something.

Thanks again.

Any "UNKNOWN" and "UNCLAIMED" device in ioscan?

Is the module in the kernel?

# what /stand/vmunix | grep gvid

[quixalogical]

Sorry I did not "cut and edit" all the information.

#what /stand/vmunix |grep gvid
gvid_debug.c $Date: 2006/06/08 14:21:18 $Revision r11.23/7 PATCH_11.23 (PHKL_34917)

The ioscan just returns a command prompt.

[Andrew Rutter]

hi,

Can you post the full ioscan without any options

#ioscan

This should see if there is an unclaimed/unknown device.


Is it also definatly an RP3440 and not the RP3410 aswell?

Andy,

The machine is a RP3440, the following is full ioscan. I would guess that the PCI Display is my missing card or am just being more of a shrub. Thanks.

The slot 4 is always hardware path

0/6/1/0 unknown PCI Display (10025157)

As you can see it is unknown!

So I assume the gvid module is not configured into the kernel.

[Torsten.]

try to get the current status:

# kcmodule | grep gvid

I looked in SAM and no that the gvid module has not been configured for the kernel. I have found where I can configure the gvid module. Is it static and yes to both questions regarding the reboot and backup. Thanks again.

James


# kcmodule | grep gvid
gvid unused
gvid_core unused
