SoulSe Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 Who can tell me what this means: I run glxgears and after running for a bit it stops and says: RadeonSwapBuffers: return = -16 Obviously, if you run a game it stops after a while due to the same error (I presume). This one has me a bit stumped. The card is an ATI Radeon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulSe Posted December 10, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 Ok, i'm going to ask one last time before giving up and switching to Redhat on this laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 What kind of drivers do you use on it? Is it the default mandrake one or the one from http://dri.sourceforge.net ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted December 10, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 It is a Radeon Mobility, so I couldn't find any drivers for it except the Mandrake defaults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 Well.. searching the dri mailing list archives, it seems that the users with similar laptops (ati mobility m6p) is using that driver. Try the driver from there... you may need the newest cvs or something.. but it should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted December 10, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 Ok, I will try it. I'm getting desperate with this adaptor. Thanks for the link! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted December 11, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 Ok, I downloaded the latest stuff from dri on sourceforge - crashed my X badly, my card is obviously not supported. Checked all my X log files - no clues there. Could this be a hardware problem? I thought of trying an earlier version of XFree (currently on 4.2.1) how can I do this? Would it be worthwhile trying another distro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted December 12, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Ok, I've put my XF86Config-4 file here: http://www.simonfrost.co.za/XF86Config-4 And two of the log files I found under /var/log here: http://www.simonfrost.co.za/XFree86.0.log http://www.simonfrost.co.za/XFree86.9.log I'm a little clueless with the log files. Thanks for all the Help! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
