Ati Xpress X200 no 3d?
 
I can't get 3d on my ati x200 card, when i try using fglrx as my driver and startx, the entire screen turns white, then flashes to black, yellow and so on...
Can anyone help me with this?

I had a laptop with that that I got working.
I had to change the kernel .config
look under # Ftape, the floppy tape device driver
HERE

Tried quoting those couple of sentences that were quoted unde ftape, but still the same :S

Look at lsmod and see which one of those modules are loaded.
Also what is your hardware?
Did you use the ati installer, from there site?

kbutcher5 09-03-2006 10:55 AM

i already listed my hardware... ati xpress x200
and no i used the fglrx from package repositories :)
only ati_agp is loaded

comprookie2000 09-03-2006 12:58 PM

The only way I got it to work was to use ati's driver;
https://support.ati.com/ics/support/...e&folderID=300
and I think I had to load the RADEON module.
I used there new installer.

will try it, it sounds about right, from what i've gathered, i'll try it out :)

kbutcher5 09-03-2006 02:47 PM

tried the driver, it's a no go, modprobed radeon after a depmod, and put radeon instead of vesa in my xorg conf, it didden't work :(

it just says radeon, module not found...
