Hello everybody
I'm new to this forum so I apologize if I miss something important...
I have a Debian Lenny installed on P4 2.6 GHZ 512 Mb RAM and now
I have bought an ATI HD 3450 AGP and 'lspci' tells me:
"01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV620 LE AGP [Radeon HD 3450]"
Now I have it working with the radeonhd 1.2.4 driver and mesa libs but unfortunately
it doesn't seem to support 3D acceleration...
from Xorg.log:
I had to install the latest 1.2.4 version because of my card chipset ID, which
wasn't recognized as an RV620 card with previous versions (i.e. 1.2.1)
from Xorg.log:
(II) PCI: 01:00:0: chip 1002,95c6 card 1043,0028 rev 00 class 03,00,00 hdr 80
It seems clear that at the moment there is no alternative: I have to use proprietary drivers but
with ATI CAtalyst driver from debian distribution and with the one from AMD site
(https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206...x86.x86_64.run)
as well after making xorg.conf with aticonfg and start Gnome Desktop Environment and everything seems to be fine but when I try to execute glx utils (i.e. glxgears) or try to watch a videofile the xserver freezes and my keyboard doesn't respond and all I have left is to push reset button.
If anyone has any idea or solution please post!
Thank you
