Ati Xpress X200 no 3d?

kbutcher5 · 09-02-2006, 04:40 PM

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

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

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...
