xfree won't start after I install and configure this driver in mandrake 9.1

It gives me an error that it can't find the device.

 

Do I have to change the config files or something??

 

.. update..

 

seems to be an agp issue.. maybe. I get an error that it can't detect aperture size.

 

I try to manually load agpgart and still get the error, ... doesn't look like an ati driver issue but an agp/chipset driver issue. doh

 

still looking for some sort of insight though as I have found other people on the net with the same problem.

 

 

I'm using an Asus a7v8x-x motherboard with latest beta bios 1005.004 and an ati radeon 9500 pro

I already found out that agpgart on 2.4 kernels doesn't support agp 3 chipsets. I'll either have to upgrade to a 2.5 kernel or wait for the next patched 2.4kernel or agpgart...

 

doh, guess I'm stickin with the basic radeon driver for now :-(
