Hi all, Wondering if anyone has had any experience with getting this card to work successfully. The card is a 32 MB DDR agp card on an Asus A7A266 motherboard with an ALiMAGiK 1 chipset. I've flashed the BIOS to the most recent update. I've tried to use it by adding both "options agp" to my kernel and via DRM-KMOD. The kernel picks it up as agp0 and DRM-KMOD actually recognizes it as a Radeon card. I've tried using both the ports version of X11 (4.1_XX) as well as the most recent cvs version. The problem is that no matter what I do, my computer either freezes entirely or reboots. This happens with XFree86 -configure, xf86cfg, startx, etc. The only config option that works is xf86config, which, of course doesn't list this particular card and which doesn't create a useable XF86Config file. I've also tried installing from ports anything I've see mentioned on the web, such as linux-DRI. If anyone has successfully managed to get a similar setup working, I'd be really interested to hear about how you did it. I realise this may be a long shot. Please cc me in your replies. This email address is not on the list. Thanks for any help. Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
