If yours is a Radeon Mobility M6 (aka "LY"), then you'll need to use the latest XFree86 from CVS (http://www.xfree86.org/cvs.html), as there is no support in XFree86 4.1.0 (this chipset not existing at the time this was released). This works great for several people (myself included), problems with internal panel detection you might see references too on the XFree86 lists were recently fixed. Currently the CVS version of XFree86 4.1.99_X radeon driver supports: (II) RADEON: Driver for ATI Radeon chipsets: ATI Radeon QD (AGP), ATI Radeon QE (AGP), ATI Radeon QF (AGP), ATI Radeon QG (AGP), ATI Radeon VE QY (AGP), ATI Radeon VE QZ (AGP), ATI Radeon Mobility LW (AGP), ATI Radeon Mobility LY (AGP), ATI Radeon Mobility LZ (AGP), ATI Radeon 8500 QL (AGP), ATI Radeon 7500 QW (AGP) > Also the NIC is not detected AFAIK, compaq use INTEL pro cards with its > laptops.

I suspect you'll need to use 4.4-STABLE, my Omnibook 6100 Intel-based NIC wouldn't work with 4.4-RELEASE either, but a commit a couple of weeks later fixed it. > Can someone help me with this please, I have to get this laptop to work > before afternoon > > thanks > > Gerardo > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message > Regards, AS --==_Exmh_1650249984P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQE8FRIQPHh895bDXeQRAgVIAKCujC0QWXE2OqkAqqqBoshh99nFdQCfX7HG T4A52sPqMOa+yiCE+KsEYfk= =aU/E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1650249984P-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
