I put together a computer with an AMD3500+ residing on an ECS RS482-M
Socket 939 motherboard which has a built-in ATI Radeon XPRESS 200. I
haven't yet been able to get the flgrx drivers to work.
The best result I've gotten to date is to use the ATI driver and a
disable acceleration. The relevant section of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
reads:
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon Xpress 200 (RS480)"
Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:1:5:0"
Option "NoAccel" "True"
EndSection
I've tried both the flgrx driver from ati's website and the driver that
comes with Ubuntu 5.10 by following the instructions from:
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide
With the flgrx driver and a lot of experimentation, the machine gets to
gnome's login screen, but X crashes as soon as I more the mouse or press
a key.
Has anyone been able to get the fglrx drivers working with an ATI Radeon
X200 and AMD64?
Thanks, George
