Question

ATI Rage IIc no AGP- Support in Win95/98

Asked by: PFranz

I have a ATI Rage IIc VGA Grapics adapter installed in AGP on an Gigabyte 586SG motherboard.
After installing Win95+USBSupport or Win98 should activate AGP-Support and AGP-Support should be includet in the ATI Rage drivers. After installation of Drivers and DirectX (6.1) I tried to test Graphics with FinalReality: NO AGP detected and AGP test-results like an old 2D graphics card.
SiSoft Sandra reports AGP not used by VGA-Card.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thank you very much.
Peter

You might want to go to the ATI site:
http://support.atitech.ca/drivers/3drageIIc.html

You can get FAQ's, updated drivers and information on AGP issues
good luck, bill

Is the AGP support enabled in the BIOS??

Toni

 

by: tedoffPosted on 1999-04-21 at 18:35:05ID: 1763902

I have to ask Dually's question as well, there is usually a jumper on the MB that will enable/disable AGP.  Did you use another video card on this same MB?

 

by: PFranzPosted on 1999-04-21 at 22:44:27ID: 1763903

On this MB i used a PCI graphics card before.
The ATI Rage IIc comes form an system with PII 400 MHz and VIA Chipset. There the problem described above was the same. Just changing the graphics card to a card with Riva TNT chipset did enable AGP and disable all the problems described above.
At ATI's site there is no description of a problem like that. The newest drivers do not solve my problem.
Customers support of the PII system described above could not solve this problem either.

Thank you very much.

Did you install the AGP chipset-specific files that came with the motherboard before installing the ATI driver?

 

by: PFranzPosted on 1999-04-22 at 22:41:34ID: 1763905

yes, I did.
* enable USB
* install IRQ routing miniport

Since another AGP card worked OK,this sorta makes your ATI look defective.Can you try it in another system?

 

by: MATTCEIPosted on 1999-04-23 at 05:10:24ID: 1763908

Never mind - I see you have.Strike 2 for the ATI.You might want to try other AGP settings in BIOS if they exist (disable 2X AGP bus,Init AGP First,etc.),but it's realley starting to look like a bad card.

 

by: nomadic1Posted on 1999-04-26 at 02:09:48ID: 1763909

Give MATTCEI most or all the points...he's going the right direction.  Consult with ATI about swpping the board.  It's identifying itself as a PCI version...probably the guy who made it knew he was gonna get fired or something! hehehe

 

by: PFranzPosted on 1999-04-26 at 06:34:52ID: 1763910

I think you are right.

MATTCEI, please answer top get the points!
Thank you all for the help.
