Radeon 9600 Problem

[Darrell Blake]

Hi,

I'm hoping someone on here can help me with this. I've been trying to get my 
ATI Radeon 9600 card working for ages. At first I was trying to get it 
working in Linux and, initially, I thought it was a problem with the kernel 
so I thought I'd try FreeBSD instead and I've grown to really like it. 
Anyway, I'm not interested in getting it to work in Linux anymore because I 
intend to carry on using FreeBSD. It seems really weird. I've been using 
Linux for five years and I think I like the idea of not being comfortable 
with an OS for a change =o)

I get the same error message when I try to run X in Linux and FreeBSD. I've 
configured the kernel to use the "radeon" driver but when I run "startx" I 
get an error. /var/log/XFree86.0.log shows this...

(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
(WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

I can run X fine if I change the driver to "vesa" but I don't want to run in 
vesa mode. I want to have accelerated graphics =o) Please help, I really 
don't want to have to use Windows every time I want to see some accelerated 
graphics.

Cheers,

Darrell
