Help ATI Radeon X300

I assume you've got the most current drivers; and this may be of some help to you.

Hi,

   I've followed your issue with other question.
Could you provide the steps you did and the error messages (cut-and-paste) so people can have more information to help
you?

Can you do "uname -a" and provide the output?
It sounds like the driver you are comipling doesn't match your currently kernel.

Wesly, I just decided to go with the Fedora core.  I'm currently installing.  If the problem persists there, I will post here again.

Hi,

   By the way, please boot as single CPU kernel first to compile the driver after you finish Fedora Core 2 installation.

Wesly

what do you mean by that?  Is that SMP or not SMP?

Hi,

   SMP is for the PC with 2 or more CPUs (sometimes for one CPU with hyperthread enable).
So kernel need to have some tweak to utilize the multiple CPUs.

   A lot of vendor's drivers don't fully suport to SMP/hugemem/64-bit kernel yet.

   Since your original post have "2.4.20-8smp" so I assume you have smp kernel installed.
However, you still can boot up your linux box with the kernel without smp.

Wesly

I will disable the hyperthreading option in the bios prior to installing fedora.  

You don't need to disable hyperthread. However, you can install SMP kernel manually later.

Wesly

The fedora core supports the ATI Radeon X300 card and has driver included.

In the display panel, when I select the dual head option, and press the OK button, nothing happens.  When I start the display pannel through console.  setup then configure x server and select the dual head option, it gives some errors about line 148 to many values to unpack.

> line 148 to many values to unpack
Could you cut-and-paste the error message here.

Wesly

Here you go

[root@ramses ~]# setup

You still there wesly?

I give up


thanks all guys

grade is for participation received.  problem still exists but...
