Hi, I've just bought a Gigabyte Radeon HD 4650 AGP as my previous AGP card died & this card looked pretty good. I've managed to get it working with the Gigabyte drivers in Windows & I've managed to get into X in Debian Lenny after 'dexconfig' created a rather vanilla xorg.conf & now i can get to the desktop (I don't know what driver its actually using). I was wrestling with trying to get either the non-free repo Lenny ATI drivers installed or the 9.7 Catalyst ones from AMD's website, but so far no success.
The furthest I got was point 6 on this guide:
http://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary#Lenny.2CSqueeze
But I encountered an error as follows when modprobing the fglrx module:
Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686-bigmem/nonfree/fglrx/fglrx.ko) : Cannot allocate memory.
My system is an Athlon X2 4200+, MSI Neo2 Platinum mobo, 4Gb Ram, dual-boot with WinXP.
I've found that my carg is somewhat odd in that its AGP & I don't think the drivers from AMD's website work for Windows even, hence I'm sticking to the Gigabyte-suppied ones for now. Is the 4650 AGP an absolute no-go in Linux at this time, or is Linux not so concerned with the socket-type? Any ideas?
Thanks!
