Xfree86 + Radeon 9700 Pro

Hello all!

I just installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 and am trying to get my ATI card to work with Xfree86.

I keep getting the error:

Code:

(WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:2:0:0) found
(WW) RADEON: Chipset "Radeon 9700 Pro ND (AGP)" in Device section "Card0" isn't valid for this driver
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal Server error:
No screens found

That part with Radeon 9700 Pro ND (AGP) was me messin around trying to get it to work. X just crashes on me.

Thanks!

Which card driver were you using? radeon (number 6 on the list in the card database) ?

Try

Code:

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Radeon 9700 Pro ND"
	Driver		"radeon"
EndSection

and make sure the entry in the Screen section reflects the video card's identifier exactly.

Sorry...I should have posted sooner...I got it to work I just couldn't use sysinstall to configure Xfree86...I had to do it like it said in the handbook
