Hey Iain,
I checked out my XF86Config-4 file, and the device is set up at
PCI:0:14:0, which looks right based on my /proc/pci output. I believe 18
is my built-in video. What I have in my config file looks like:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
### Available Driver options are:-
#Option "SWcursor"
Option "HWcursor"
#Option "PciRetry"
#Option "NoAccel"
#Option "ShadowFB" "true"
Option "UseFBDev"
Driver "r128"
BusID "PCI:0:14:0"
EndSection
I have also been fiddling with arguments for bootx, but still no luck on
getting video up and running. I've tried arguments of the following form:
video=aty128fb:vmode:17
With varied values at the end. Is this the correct format? I browed
through the list archives and saw that some people put video= and others
video: Would this make a signicant difference?
Thanks,
Mike
