I wonder if any of you have VIA based motherboard?
I'm currently looking into purchasing X1950Pro AGP, and after much googling, it appears all problematic motherboards are based on NVIDIA or SiS chipsets, while those with VIA chipsets do not have any problems. These ovservations are all from the Windows systems though.

I haven't tried the build in AGP yet, e.g. make it a module on the kernel side and not load it (or not make it at all) maybe worth a try, but with what you just posted below, it seems like they will only use their build in AGP driver, and no longer the kernel one? I surly hope that's not true.

I guess I'll better look for Geforce 7950 GS AGP then, even though it's generally slower than X1950 Pro.

I'm happily using my 9500Pro again, it's now 4 years old and still works
As for the 1950 ... i'll just wait for the 8.43 drivers and try again, complain again, and not use it again. I suppose i'm 'easy going' on it as it was handed down to me for free ...

Hi every body
I have very good news for Fedora Core 7 users using like me X1950 AGP with fglrx 8.42.3...
The problem with XGL is fixed now for me...
I did "yum update" to latest updates from official FC7 repositories. This way I landed with new kernel version 2.6.23.1-10.fc7.
So I tried to rebuild FC7 packages for new kernel and it didn't worked... build failures as expected ( there exist a patch for kernel 2.6.23 )
Befor I started to google for this patch, I tried to find fglrx package from yum..... and I found it allready build for new kernel... on livna repo.
Closest thing is to try it... , so I removed my self builde fglrx packages ( yum remove `rpm -qa | grep fglrx` ) and installed livna packages:
xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-devel-8.42.3-6.lvn7
xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-8.42.3-6.lvn7
kmod-fglrx-8.42.3-4.2.6.23.1_10.fc7
Livna guys did the whole work, I can run against fgl_glxgears, no corruptions or versions missmatch !!!
I will have to do some additional tests now ( vlc video playback using openGL, and Beryl )
Great thanks to liva guys for great job!!!Last edited by soundworks2; 02 November 2007, 07:24 PM.
