Radeon 9700 Pro, zero-width, no screen etc.

To Androo: nice to hear that the crashing problem seems to be reduced!

To rudolf: I have to admit that I didn't apply the zero-width handling yet. Point is that the CP wants to get the number of rects _before_ it accepts the actual rects. So I may have to go through the list twice: once to get the number of non-empty rects, and again to post the actual commands. I don't like that and have to think about a better solution.

Decaf: as I understand you have a first generation Radeon. I reckon that monitor detection or signal routing is broken in your case; I have to check that.

This is the first version of your driver that has worked with my system. I am now happily using BeOS with a Radeon 9700 Pro using a Viewsonic VP171b LCD monitor connected to the card w/ DVI. Works great :)

Radeon Screen appears to be broken, though, and has missing symbols on R5.

It's generaly not polite to flame bait on the talk back section. PhOS is ... built mostly with software that was never legaly distributed to the public. But that's another story. Thomas has put tons of work into this driver, and writing inane comments aren't exactly a great way to announce your presence in a very small community. I obviously only speak for me, but you might want to tone things down just a bit, and hang out for a while, and get to know people before spouting off.

Hi Thomas,

So did you apply the 0-width fix for rect fills, rect inverts and fill span?

Good to see the update so fast BTW: thanks!

Rudolf.

Hey Thomas has gotten back to me a few times now & we should have the Radeon drivers sorted out soon.

If anyone has problems with Thomas's drivers. Specifically with dual monitor or Mobility issues, you can try the preliminary R300 driver (works for all radeons at time of publishing). As it's now disapeared from Bebits it can be found here:

http://euank.users.btopenworld.com/beos/beos-radeon-r300-v1.3.1.pkg

If your card isn't supported let me know, and I'll see if I can add it to the driver. Assuming I can find the source code! ;)

Look in the forums in the correct section.

Looks like you're searching for help with a Windows driver issue...

None of the software/drivers on Bebits are for Windows, or any other Microsoft OS, they are in fact for BeOS (or Zeta). If you'd like to try BeOS - download the BeOS 5 Personal Edition from Bebits.

Radeon 7000/VE Problem

By RedDawg - Posted on April 7, 2004 - 00:58:06 (#11835)
Current version when comment was posted: v3.2.8

I have a several year-old Radeo 7000/VE dual head card that I have been using with two monitors (one in extended desktop mode)successfully since purchasing it. Yesterday, I was attempting to change the resolution of the clone/extended monitor and apparently chose a resolution that it didn't like. A scrambled image appeared and the whole system locked forcing a hard reboot. I have had problems with the displays ever since. The best I am able to configure, despite hours of trying, is to get the secondary monitor to be a clone/duplicate of the primary. When I go to Display Properties/Settings (O/S = W98SE) two monitor icons are shone with #2 being dimmed (disabled). When I click it I get the message asking if I want to enable it. When I answer yes, the icon turns bright and I am able to make changes in its resolution setting. Then when I click OK or Apply I get two pop-up messages. One is the expected "Do you want to save this setting?" but the other says "Driver Memory Allocation Failed" with an instruction to lower the resolution or color depth on the primary monitor.Clicking OK returns everything to the original state (2 identical monitors). Even if I set the primary monitor at 640 x 480/256 colors, the same message (and result) happens when I attempt to extend the desktop to the 2nd monitor. Did I somehow damage the card's memory when I selected the resolution that caused the problem in the first place? (That monitor happens to be an NCD Type NC21855AA, mfg. 1995. I know it is old, but was a give-away but is 20" viewable and has worked fine for almost 5 years.) Primary monitor is HP A4331D. How do I get my extended desktop back? Since I have a 2nd NCD that I would like to put on the other side of the HP (CinemaScope anyone?) should I shop for a graphics card that will support 3 monitors (more?) directly? What are my choices? Prices? BTW, I am not a gamer per se, I just need lots of room to spread out my windows. TIA for all help/suggestions.

Hi there.

I just got my new notebook which uses the graphicscard named above. I tried the R300, 3.2.7 and 3.2.8 driver under BeOS R5.0.3. but it did stay in black/white. When changing the resolution I ended up scrolling my desktop.

It would really be great to get this card working.

for further information:
graphics card: ATi Mobility FireGL T2 (0x4E54)
System:
IBM-Thinkpad R50p
Display:
- IBM ThinkPad IPS 1600x1200 LCD panel
- native resolution 1600x1200

a big thanks in advance.

TV-OUT with Radeon 9500, is it possible?

It's not working :( (Radeon 9200SE)

By Illissius - Posted on February 23, 2004 - 20:01:17 (#11201)
Current version when comment was posted: v3.2.8

My system is the following:
Athlon XP
Gigabyte GA-7VA (KT400A)
Gigabyte Radeon 9200SE (AGP 8X)
ADI 17" CRT
BeOS 5PE Max3

None of the Radeon drivers (the ones that came with it, v3.2.8, nor the v3.2.7 you linked below) work. They're stuck in b/w, and while they let me change the resolution, as far as I can tell it just resizes everything instead without changing the resolution. The standard vesa drivers let me use 800x600 and 16-bit color, but nothing more. (The goal would be 1024x768 24/32-bit color 85Hz.)
I've heard of various problems with Radeon cards in motherboards with VIA chipsets if you don't install the VIA 4-in-1 drivers (under Windows); don't know whether it's something similar here, but at any rate I highly doubt VIA has BeOS drivers.
Any ideas?

Yes, I am using PhOS b4. I didn't see the radeon accelerant or the kernel driver in the install. At least not where I thought it should be.

Of course, I still don't know if this driver supports the IGP graphics in my laptop. Any news on when the next beta will be ready?

Driver won't install - missing directories

By johjeff - Posted on February 21, 2004 - 07:08:15 (#11165)
Current version when comment was posted: v3.2.8

Hello,

I am trying to install this driver, but it keeps giving me errors about directory accelerants and directory kernel not existing. I looked at the summary of the install, and checked all the paths it shows, and both directories do exist.

Do you have just a tarball or zip of the binary driver I can use to copy the files to the right place?

Thank you.

This card from Sapphire seems not supported. I am running Zeta RC1 SP2. Manufacturer ID: ATI Technologies 0x1002. Card ID: 5d44 (In Windows: Radeon SE AGP 0x5964 64MB).
Could you please add this card to your driver.

thanks for your work on this driver, my other card 9100 with 64MB works well.

There must be a different problem with your card, since that id number is already in the driver. I am not sure what your problem is. BTW, my email address should work if you remove the NOSPAM part.

Are you sure that is the right number? I would expect it to be 0x514x where x is another digit or a letter from a-f. I got my number from linux (not XP). If you have linux, do 'cat /proc/pci' and look for a spot that says:
chip 0x1002,0x.... (the 4 dots would be where your number would be). Drop a note to gyoder@NOSPAM.stny.rr.com with the correct number, and I will build you a driver.

hello all again,
I just tried Euan´s tip to look in the pref. Tab of Windows Xp, and there my Radeon 8500AGP (64MB) is named:
Chiptyp: Mobility Radeon 9200AGP (0x514).
What does this say? Is there now hope getting my card to work under BeOs? Can u compile the file for me Euan as I dont know how to do so?
Maybe there are some more cards out there that have the same problem.

By shadow303 - Posted on February 9, 2004 - 03:31:30 (#10979)
Current version when comment was posted: v3.2.8

Thanks for the tip. I have it working now. FYI, the number of the card is 4e50 and I set it up as rv350. It even gave me the option for 1920x1200 resolution (the native resolution of my LCD).

By Euan - Posted on February 8, 2004 - 19:27:27 (#10973)
Current version when comment was posted: v3.2.8

You just need to get the device ID of the card. You can find this in windows XP by going to the display properties / advanced / adapter. It is the hex number in brackets. IE "Radeon 9600 Pro Series (0x4150)"

You need to add this number to the device lists in the radeon driver then simply recompile (using BeIDE).

If you send me the number I can compile you a driver with your card supported.

I have a radeon mobility 9600 pro turbo which doesn't appear to be detected (i.e. only the stub driver appears in the devices). Is there something I could do to help track down the problem? I am a programmer, but I have never worked with device drivers under BeOS.

Two month report ATI-8500

By Earl Colby Pottinger - Posted on February 8, 2004 - 01:01:31 (#10967)
Current version when comment was posted: v3.2.8

When I installed the driver in late November. I had also bought a new ATI card and monitor to use with it. Running BeOS 5.0.3 I found you needed to recompile all the source code supplied to use the preferences. At the time I report that my screen would blank out or portions of the screen would turn to garbage. And if I used the computer for a very long time it would lock up with or without a blamk screen. This is with no screen savers enabled. Noting that the new card used a lot more wattage than my old ATI Rage that did not even need a cooling fan I bought a new Power Supply. One month of use and I no longer have lockups or bad graphic displays. People take note if you have an older computer and have made a major jump in your video card check your power supply voltage.

Troubles with ATI Radeon 7500

For the first time I tried BeOS - installed BeOs PE Max v3 - it looks nice. However, when clicking on any icon the screen starts to blink, change colours, a half of screen dissapers and monitor become dark and computer freezes. Sorry, but do not know what to do. Can you help? How can I re-instal the driver when the PC is frozen?

DVI-D versus analog-VI

By binoi - Posted on January 30, 2004 - 20:31:40 (#10843)
Current version when comment was posted: v3.2.8

First of all I want to say thanx to Thomas and Euan for the good job to create a driver for radeon graphics. I myself had absolute NO problem with this driver using a radeon8500all-in-wonder. But now I updated to an radeon9600pro and ... never change a running system :-/

I have (and had during radeon8500 times) an Sony Flatpanel. Because I have driver problems I tried out several things. This are my results:

1. DVI-D connected:
1a) Zeta:
1aa) original driver from Thomas (v3.2.8.):doesn't work at all (black screen, panel says: not connected.
1ab) R300 driver hack from Euan works but only up to resolution of 1024x768. Higher resolutions not recognized when choosed.
1b) BeOS R5.03
1ba) original driver from Thomas (v3.2.8.):doesn't work at all (black screen, panel says: not connected.
1bb) R300 driver hack from Euan works but only up to resolution of 1024x768. Higher resolutions not recognized when choosed.

2. analog-VI connected:
2a) Zeta:
2aa) original driver from Thomas (v3.2.8.):doesn't work at all (black screen, panel says: not connected.
2ab) R300 driver hack from Euan doesn't work at all (black screen, panel says: not connected.
2b) BeOS R5.03
2ba) original driver from Thomas (v3.2.8.):doesn't work at all (black screen, panel says: not connected.
1bb) R300 driver hack from Euan WORKS PERFECT.

Of course analog-VI is not an option if you have DVI-D on your monitor. I just hope I could help you developer guys to fix up that problem with DVI recognization.

Good luck,
Boris
