Created attachment 16493 [details] [review] Add pci id support for xpress 1250 I don't know if more is required than to just add the pci id, but here's a go at that. Created attachment 16494 [details] [review] possible patch It'll need more than just ids. The memory controller has changed substantially. Does this patch work? Hi, I have a X1250 and like to test Alex's patch, can someone explain me how to apply this patch (Ubuntu Hardy Heron). Thanks in adavance, @Antoine, you'll need to build the -ati driver from git and apply the patch. Alex, any chance of a patch that applies against 6.8.0? Looks like the code this one modifies has changed fairly substantially since 6.8.0 so maybe not, but if so it might be backportable to Hardy. Hi, I pulled the latest sources from git: git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati Then I applied the patch: patch --verbose -uN < alex_deucher.diff The patch applied succesfully (had to enter manually the path to the files to patch) Then I edited my xorg.conf file and set the ati driver, then I restarted X and the computer crashed. I had to restart by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete. In the Xorg.0.log: (EE) RADEON(0): Timeout trying to update memory controller settings ! (EE) RADEON(0): You will probably crash now ... I'll attach this log and my xorg.conf, regards, Antoine Created attachment 16503 [details] [review] log using ati driver from git with Alex's patch applied Created attachment 16504 [details]

Created attachment 16507 [details] [review] alternate patch Can you try this one? You'll want to apply with -p1: patch -p1 -i rs600-2.diff (In reply to comment #9) > Created an attachment (id=16507) [details] > alternate patch > > Can you try this one? You'll want to apply with -p1: > patch -p1 -i rs600-2.diff > Great! Thanks for the good job, Alex's second patch works. I'm now able to run the radeon driver. The only error I see in Xorg.0.log is: (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed to open the DRM [dri] Disabling DRI. Next step is to know whether it will possible to apply this patch to version 6.8.0 (Ubuntu Hardy's version) If you need information like the .rej files when I try to apply the patch to the package's source from Hardy depot, feel free to ask! regards, Antoine Created attachment 16510 [details]
