Hi, Just had to buy a new graphics card. Burned the previous one. I got myself an ATI Radeon HD4650 with a RV730 chipset. According to their wiki (http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd) it should work without any problem with the radeonhd driver... Yeah... By the way, the card works marvelously with windows xp and with ubuntu 9.10 (with Catalyst, but hey, it works in 2048x1152 on my 23" screen). In my /var/log/Xorg.0.log i see this : (II) VESA(0): VESA BIOS detected (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE Version 3.0 (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE Total Mem: 16384 kB (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE OEM: ATI ATOMBIOS (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE OEM Software Rev: 11.22 (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE OEM Vendor: (C) 1988-2005, ATI Technologies Inc. (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE OEM Product: RV730 (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE OEM Product Rev: 01.00 pciconf -ls shows this : vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x0028174b chip=0x94951002 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc. / Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.' class = display subclass = VGA I tried modifying xorg.conf but neither the radeon or the radeonhd driver seem to work. The only way to get my desktop up is to boot into Vesa 1024x768. So, how do i get bsd and/or X to get my card accepted ? Thanks for any hints.
