FreeBSD BARTON 5.3-BETA3 FreeBSD 5.3-BETA3 #1: Sun Sep 5 01:02:04 EDT 2004 jason@BARTON:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NINAMORI i386
>Description:
When you startx with a R200 radeon and dri enabled the system hangs. My monitor will switch to 128x1024@85hz and will be black with random color across the very top. The mouse and power button works for a time, and the keyboard dies right away. Mode 0666 is set in xorg conf.
I don't see Loading R200 Microcode in my dmesg, and there are 2 different microcodes. Only one shows up in dmesg so I put a line of code to show if the other one was being loaded. Nether messsage showed up in my dmesg. I then changed the code to always load the R200 code. It did not work. So no microcode for the radeon is being loaded on my system, ever. I have an nforce 2 chipset.
>How-To-Repeat:
Edit xorg.conf to load dri. Have a radeon 8500(or some R200 or maybe a R100 core).
startx
>Fix:
Get the code to load. Maybe the card is not being identified right?
