Guest xaff Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Does anybody know if drivers for the Radeon 9000 exists for XFree86 4.3? (The ATI site only has for 4.2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
static Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Trust me, radeon support just gets better and better with newer versions of XFree86. Have no radeon worries - works outta-tha-box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xaff Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 The reason I want the drivers is that the 3d perfomance is poor. I mean, even the other box (Celeron 450 mhz with voodoo3) is smoother than this one. (P4 2.66 ghz with Radeon 9000) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevetgn Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 Same problem for me too. I have a Radeon 8500 and been new to Linux know nothing about driver installations. I also have incrediably slow graphic performance, but have know idea what to do about it. Why can't Linux just have a simple exe. file for driver install like Windows. More people would be much happier to make the jump to Linux if this was the case. :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
static Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 We all know that - but you have to remember how much money M$ dealt out to hardware manufacturers to have them only make drivers for windows. And some modems (winmodems) only work in windows at all! We're doing pretty good considering. Check ATI's page, they have drivers you can download I believe if you have a 3rd party card powered by an ATI radeon chipset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Doggy Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 What chipset have you got - I've got a board with a via KT400 and am having problems with a Radeon 9500 - perhaps AGP 3.0 (8x) is unsupported? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sud_crow Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 HI, Kt400 has support for AGP 3.0, also does MDK9.1, but if that ¿were? the problem, it would run fantastic on 4X, its not a big difference between 4 and 8. its mostly a marketing thing. I think you dont have the right drivers... For example my GF2MX installed as a GF1 DDR by default, and its around 3 years old, so, although drivers are similar, the ones from nVidia worked much better. maybe you can try with www.rage3d.com they always had all kinds of stuff.. Well, i hope you fix it soon, and tell how you did it and how its working, cuz i wanted to upgrade to a 9100... good luck. [/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germ Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 xaff.........check this site: http://dri.sourceforge.net/ I'm getting excellent performance with my Radeon 7500. :D 4x AGP, direct rendering, the whole nine yards. /germ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
