Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone could help me.

I found out yesterday that XFree86 4.4.0 now supports my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro. So I eagerly downloaded XFree and successfully installed it. But, unfortunately, I having a tough time configuring it.

I get the following errors:

(WW) RADEON: No matching Device Section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found.

(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal Server error
no screens found

Below is my XF86Config:

No luck.

I changed XF86Config, typed "kldload radeon" and "startx &". I get the same problem. Did I understand you correctly?

Thanks.

Your using the wrong driver.

For my 9700 Pro I use the "ati" driver, that's really where the support for the new cards is done. The radeon driver I think is pretty old, and not where new card support is done for ati.

So my last part of the device section looks like this,

[code:1:2431b2c6d9] Identifier "Card0"
Driver "ati"
VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc"
BoardName "Radeon R300 ND [Radeon 9700]"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
[/code:1:2431b2c6d9]

You should have XFree86 config itself to make sure that it sees your card properly by doing this command,
[code:1:2431b2c6d9]
XFree86 --configure[/code:1:2431b2c6d9]

That will produce a config file that you can then modify to your own taste. It should automagically detect your card and the proper driver if XFree86 has the support for it. I remember being very excited when XFree86 4.3 came out and had proper support for the 9700!

I run at 1600x1200 on the 9700 with no problems.

Hope this helps.

Hmm seems there's no driver support - everyone's asking, and noone's getting resolutions...

Prolly is the wrong driver, I just swapped out a 9700 ati card for the 9800xt in my laptop and now I can't seem to get the ati driver working... if I delete the XF86config, X runs, but in like 1280x1024 :( so I have awful pixel scaling to 1920x1200...

Funny though, cause the name does show up in the list of drivers...
