Could you try it without the Radeon 9200 PCI please? You could remove the Xorg config entries of the Radeon 9200 for example.

The problem is that 3D doesnt work both with and without the Radeon PCI in xorg.conf.
Without as advised here:
http://www.mintppc.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1202
Code: Select all
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Screen0"
Driver "radeon"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"

Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24

EndSubSection

To be sure I also tried with:
Code: Select all
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Screen0"
Driver "radeon"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1200_75.00"
EndSubSection
EndSection
I have also tried to copy the way it is done in Ubuntu 12.04. Removed 10-monitor.conf and copied over the 10-vsync.conf to see if that could work on debian but it does'nt work at all. X does'nt start.
I am beginning to see a dead end here ....

I found a solution - sort of
Instead of disabling the Radeon PCI I disabled the Radeon HD.
Code: Select all
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Screen0"
Driver "radeon"
BusID "PCI:6:05:0"
EndSection

Monitor "Monitor0"

Modes "1920x1200_75.00"
EndSubSection

The kernel output comes to the Radeon HD but when X starts up it goes to the Radeon PCI and is running on there now. Glxgears now works but ofcourse the fps suck (resolution: 1400x900):
Code: Select all
benny@AmigaOneX1000:~$ glxgears

approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.

Maybe I need to give my Radeon HD some other variables get it to work proberly. At least I have 3D now
EDIT: Well sort of 3D. Glxgears works but at least Chromium BSU and Neverball will not start up. Chromium BSU opens a black window and then hangs. Neverball just does'nt start up. I have tried reducing the screen resolution but that did not have any effect. The search continues ...

Hi John,
Thanks for your effort. Could you post the output by "glxinfo | grep OpenGL", please?
Cheers,
Christian

Here is the output from when the Radeon PCI is used.
Code: Select all
benny@AmigaOneX1000:~$ glxinfo | grep OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R200 (RV280 5960) TCL DRI2
OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 10.2.2
OpenGL extensions:
benny@AmigaOneX1000:~$
When I try to run the same command with the Radeon HD enabled it gives me the usual error.
A little strange to see it use Mesa 10.2.2 since I installed 10.0.4.!?!?!

I tested an ATi Radeon 9250 PCI graphics card in my A1-X1000 last year. CFE recognised this PCI card and Linux booted fine. 3D acceleration worked but very slow. I don't recommend any old Radeon PCI cards for 3D apps on Linux.

I agree. The Radeon PCI - especially when it is in a ordinary PCI slot like mine - is way to slow.
I will try some fiddling around to see if I can get 3D working on the Radeon HD. At least now I know for sure that you can disable the cards in 10.monitor.conf.
