Mach64-GX using fbdev problem

[vinai]

Hi,

I don't have a GX, but I do have a PCI Mach 64 Rage Pro running in 1280
x 1024 at 15 bits under Woody.  Here's my equivalent info:

>   Blue&White G3, kernel 2.4.20-ben1

2.4.18 from kernel.org

>   XFree86 Version 4.2.1.1 (Debian 4.2.1-5 20030121181741
>   branden at debian.org)/ X Window System
>   (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
>   Release Date: 18 October 2002

XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510)
Release Date: 21 December 2001

> From lspci:
>   01:03.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 210888GX
>           [Mach64 GX] (rev 03)

00:0e.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro
        (rev 5c) (prog-if 00 [VGA])

> From XF86Config
> Section "Device"
>         Identifier      "Mach64-GX"
>         Driver          "fbdev"
>         BusID           "PCI:1:3:0"
>         Option          "UseFBDev"              "true"
>         Option          "fbdev"                 "/dev/fb1"

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "ATI Rage"
        Driver          "ati"
        BusID           "PCI:0:14:0"
        Option          "UseFBDev"              "true"
EndSection

I think this might be where your card is failing - try the "ati" driver
and see if that helps.

cheers
