i have also tried putting ChipId in my config file (4e48) but then X complains about e not being a number (and "" doesnt work either)
They both use the SAME device yet the fire gl drivers dont somehow do anything.
i havent had a desktop for over a month now so any help would really be appreciated!
i am running (hardened) gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.7-r5, gcc 3.3.3-r6 and the latest ati drivers ( ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge ati-drivers),
but then again the "stable" drivers yield the same error. Like i said the config file is *exactly* the same in both cases just the [driver] section is different.

dr_dre

ps : the vesa and radeon drivers are VERY slow on my pc, we are talking 10 mins to log into kde...

[Wedge_]

[dr_dre]

no, the ebuild seems to be fine, doesnt spew out any error messages.
Tried using 0x4e48 as chipid but it still says No Device Found.

*starts pulling out hair*

any other ideas?

dr_dre

[dr_dre]

bump

[unseen-enigma]

I had issues with the ati drives which i had to resolve by manipulating /proc/mtrr with a startup script prior to loading x. This corrected a overlaping memory map in the drivers.

[dr_dre]

what should i be looking for in there?

[atom]

check your dmesg for one, see if you get any strange mtrr errors
