[parisc-linux] ATI rage xl and C360 (it works!)

[Hin.Zen]

Hello List,

last night I accidentally found this:
http://ftp.fi.muni.cz/pub/linux/sgi/people/ppopov/aty_nobiosinit.patch

and patched 2.4.22-pa12 on my C360.
After that the rage xl seems to work just fine [minor problems with
colors and XFree (fbdev mode) running 1280x1024].

Could anybody who owns such a card (or can easily get one) test it please?
(maybe Joel?)

thanks,

Hello,

Great news, I will test it asap (and obviously let you inform).

Many thanks,
    Joel

Hi Hin,

Sorry but on the b180L on wich card is pluged in, i boot a kernel with module
support and build the new atyfb module and when I modprobe it the system
crash (without oops message :( ).
The only message I got is:
atyfb: using auxiliary register aperture
atyfb: 3D RAGE (XL PCI-33MHz) [0x4752 rev 0x27] 8M WRAM, 14.31818 MHz XTAL,
230K

which seems more relevant then previous test (with original atyfb support).

Never the less, I would like very much that it works and so ask you the favor
to send me your .config file to be sure I do not lost anything :) (btw with
your XF86Config-4 :) )

Thanks in advance,
    Joel

Hi Joel,
this is what I read when I modprobe the driver:

...
bigmama:~# modprobe atyfb
atyfb: using auxiliary register aperture
atyfb: 3D RAGE (XL PCI-33MHz) [0x4752 rev 0x27] 8M WRAM, 14.31818 MHz XTAL, 230
MHz PLL, 83 Mhz MCLK, 63 Mhz XCLK
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30
fb0: ATY Mach64 frame buffer device on PCI
bigmama:~# 
...

I also run a kernel with the driver built-in and it behaves fine.

Please find both configs attached; I hope they'll be helpful.

Thanks,

Nice :). I just have to make works Xserver (xdm complaining to not find /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup.
I will try to remember why)

Many thanks again,

I wonder whether you can also use more recent ATI Radeon graphic cards.
So far I've only seen reports about ATI Rage XL, but does this patch
work with any kind of ATI card?

Thanks,
  Max

[parisc-linux] Use and ATI 7xxx PCI in a c3k? (Will buy cards)

The core chipsets are different, ranging from R100 -> R300. The
development teams were not the same. I've tried to bringup an R300
(Radeon 9700) on a non-x86 arch and it was a big pain. I do not think
that this patch will work for R200's (7xxx series, and 8xxx) or R300's 
(9xxx series). Having said that I've seen seen weirder things work... I
have an R200 AGP and thus I can't try it on my C3K. If anyone has a PCI
ATI 7xxx card I would love to buy it from them for testing :)

Hmm, on my b180 even if for s/w all seems ok (gdm run and no error 
neither in in XFree86.0.log nor in gdm/:0.log), nothing appears on the 
screen?
Having no other platform to test the card (which I suspect to be 
broken), I just still have an opportunity to test it on my b2k (near 
about c3k iirc) before any conclusion.

Anyway, unfortunaltely, the only other ATI card i could have at my 
disposal is an AGP model (useless for b180 or b2k models). Sorry to not 
being able to help you more.

I think (as far as can understand the patch content) that it is specific 
to this card model.

Well come Max,
