Ati catalyst 8.2 and radeon 9800

[assasukasse]

Hi everyone
i was hoping the new drivers would make my card work with dri, instead it was another crappy release..
I don't have a clue what is going wrong, but in case someone wants to help here are my xorg.log and xorg.conf

i really lost any hope of making new ati drivers work with my card..

It looked like there were a couple of funny messages about bus ID in the log as well.

I don't think we've been able to reproduce this problem in house but your log and conf files might help.

same with mobility 9700, all 9xxx series seems doomed

my radeon 9550 works fine ..

I have the same problem, 9800 Pro AGP 128MB on an Athlon XP 2400+/VIA KT400 system, 1GB of RAM. IIRC the 8.1 driver didn't have this error, but there were some graphical glitches in 3D, flickering black triangles, on my system.

Edit: correction, 8.44.3 was the last driver that didn't have this problem.

My 9800 works just fine with catalyst 8.2.

I solved the problems by using the open source radeon driver..
i needed some tweaks to make it working but it works wonderfully and i have even higher FPS than with fglrx driver!

I can confirm this bug on Radeon 9700 Mobility.

My Mobility Radeon 9600 PRO works with 8.02...

Actually, even AIGLX/Compiz works now on Debian/unstable. This is the first time I managed to make aiglx work with fglrx (since the last revision added support for x1.4).

Well the driver is still crappy (fglrxinfo and fgl_glxgears throw a segmentation fault...) but at least it works for me and is faster than 'radeon' (for now).
