Diamond Fire GL 1

Hello everyone.

 

I've been searching all over the web and on this forum, but I cant find no solution to this problem. So finally I've decided to see if you guys can help.

 

I am trying to install mandrake linux 10.1 on a dell precision workstation 420. When I boot with the mandrake cd1 it keeps on loading the text installation. I cant get it to load the graphical installation.

 

My graphics card is an agp 4x Diamond Fire GL 1.

 

I went ahead and installed linux with the text installation but at the very end of the installation where it shows me the configuration, it showed the

graphics as "not configured". so i went in there and tried to configure it.

I select the make and model of my graphics card, then it asks me to test it. But when I test it, it gives me an error that it couldnt load some file.

 

So I am stuck now. I have already installed mandrakelinux on 2 other machines with the same cds and had no problems, so I am pretty sure it has to do with the driver for my video card.

 

Oh btw, this is the only similar case I found:

thanks for any help....

Ok. to recap:

when I boot with mandrake linux 10.1 cd1, it always takes me to the text installation.

On the last step of the text installation, at the "Summary" screen.

I see:

"Graphical interface: not configured"

So I configure it:

select vesa driver

select my monitor driver

resolution 1024x768

it asks me to test it, i click yes and.......

boom:

An error occurred:
(EE) Failed to load module "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a"
(once-only module, 135962511)
(WW) ****INVALID MEM ALLOCATION**** b: 0xd0000000 e: 0xd001ffff
correcting

Try to change some parameters

So then I go back and change the driver now to:

Diamond Fire GL 1000 ( my card )

then I test again and:

An error occurred:
(EE) Failed to load module "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a"
(once-only module, 135962511)
(EE) No devices detected.

Try to change some parameters

 

So yeah I am still stuck :wall::help:
