Problem with neomagic videocard

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello, all

I have Dell Latitude LM P-133ST laptop with 24 mb of RAM and NeoMagic NM2070
(MagiGraph128, I guess) with 896 kB of videoram. I installed Mandrake 8.2
(with cutom build kernel 2.4.19) onto it. I had tried XFree86 which came
with that distro (of course, 4.x version). I had downloaded latest version
form XFree86.org (by that time it was 4.30). After that I found 4.1 sources
on one of my CD's, compiled them and tried to use them. Nothing helped.
Here's description of the problem: X does start, and doesn't complain about
any errors in log, neomagic driver detects everythig if being given BusID
(it detects several instances: PCI 0:2:0 and lots of PCI 11:xx:??, where xx
varyes for about 10 different values), but the screen looks garbled, and the
image is duplicated two or four times (e.g. it is shrinked vertically and
takes top half of the screen; bottom half of the screen duplicates top half.
Also some colors are often either mistmatched or turn white at all). Modes
used were 640x480x8 and 16bpp and 800x600x8bpp. The most interesting thing
is that when I changed XFree86 to v3.3 (from old RedHat 5.2) it worked
perfectly.

WBR,
Victor Pravdin
