8RDA+, RH9.0, 4349 driver problems

[woolbeo]

Hi,

I am having problems with the latest drivers and Redhat 9 on my 8rda+ and Abit Silure Ti 4200 OTES. The drivers install fine, and X starts up without any warnings in the log files, but the screen is covered with different colored random ASCII characters. I tried the suggestion to disable AGP with the Option "NvAGP" "0", and it still has the same problem. WinXP works fine with the newest windows drivers.

My log file and config file are attached.

Problem is the bios ... downgrade your bios to 1/29/03 and the problem will disappear. I think there is something with Epox AGP. I have another problem . X is running i got fps in glxgears but when i logout or switch to text mode the computer hangs.

uhmmm not sure....
last time, yes it's not working at all,
and after flashed from 3117 to 3129.
and just today, i give it a try again in console mode
and now i use it :)
really strange, i've try that before and it's not working, but today it's even better than before

ooppss, i'm on rh8 right now

Gnome 2.2 of redhat 9.0 is much better like it was in redhat 8.0 gnome 2.2 , RH90 is more polished .. i want redhat 9.0 not eight

I'm having the same problems with gentoo and 4349, I have tried the gaming-kernel sources as well (2.4.20 + patches, IDE support for nForce2). I have not been able to get the drivers to work at all with either xfree 4.2.1 or xfree 4.3. The nv driver does work, it's just very slow. AGP support is built as a module and my XF86Config includes the option "NvAGP" set to "1". My XFree log file ends with the line setting the device resolution as well. Does anyone have the 8RDA+ working under Linux?

Thanks..

any idea?

You need to include the XFree86 libraries in your link command.

Run ldd on your libglut.so file to see what all you need, but the libGL.so requires -lXm -lX11 as well as -lm and whatever else you have. So I'd guess that that's the problem.

Plus, I know from nm that the glX* functions are in the libX11.so file. ;)

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXm
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11

so....... where could i get it?

[bwkaz]

Err, that should have been -lXext, not -lXm. It somehow got screwed up between ldd and my posting. :o

But anyway, the files can be gotten from your distro's XFree86-devel or X11R6-devel package.

[bahamot]

thanks :)

anyway, XFree86-devel and glut, glut-devel has been installed, and it still can't compiled

[bahamot]

now i got this error msg.........

[bahamot]

uhmmm strange, after i rebuild glut and glut-devel from srpm, now it's work.....

uhmm bwkaz, do u know what's going on here?

[bwkaz]

No, not really, but I've had issues before with glut doing strange things like that. Mesa's glut, in particular, likes to use some glX...SGIX functions that I don't have (I assume they're SGI-specific).

[bahamot]

alright then, thx a lot :)

[CSlayeR]

I now have one NF7-S 1.2 Rev. I think the problem with the texmode is in the Epox's Nforce AGP. I will be back with news..
I hope vt-switching is working with the new mainboard

SlayeR

Owner of one NF7-S 1.2 :)))

[CSlayeR]

I tried the NF-S with redhat. It hangs at logout or vt-switching or switching to text-mode Ctrl-Alt-F1..F6


:(

No chance to find one fix for this problem!!


Cya!!

[bwkaz]

Seeing as your problems are sort of strewn across multiple threads, I don't know if this has been asked before or not, but have you tried with and without a framebuffer console with your new motherboard?

[CSlayeR]

No change.. It hangs. I tried various kernels but no succes. I have one AGP8x card and just 4191 have suport for it or the latest drivers. :)
