It built and installed perfectly fine, from what I can see it runs fine too.. but I get the same error. You weren't wrong, in the log once of the supported cards listed is the ATI Radeon 9800 NH (AGP), although I have no idea what the NH stands for. The only problem is I'm getting the same exact error I was previously.. From the log file: (II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0 (--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device (WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found (EE) No devices detected. I did not attempt any different settings from the norm at this time since, if my memory serves me right this is the same exact error I was getting before and nothing I tried seemed to fix it. Here is the device section as it is now for my radeon 9800, these are the same settings that I used to use and worked perfectly fine with my radeon 7000, although I have tried a config without the extra options it did not seems to help nor is their any reason that I can think of that these options would not work with the 9800. Section "Device" Identifier "Radeon 9800" Driver "radeon" #VideoRam 131072 # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate Option "AGPMode" "4" Option "AGPFastWrite" "1" Option "EnablePageFlip" "1" EndSection My problems seem to stem from the fact that the driver has no idea what to do with BusID PCI 1:0:1 which may or may not be the actual device that I want to be using.. I have no idea what to do about it though. This is a plain vanilla ATI Radeon 9800 (AGP) not a pro or some other upgraded/downgraded version.. I would think this would be supported by the driver. Thanks again for any input, James.
