For some reason I only recalled MorphOS having trouble with later Radeons. Since the Linux trouble I experienced was 2d related. So 3d didn't yet come to mind.xeno74 wrote: Tue Aug 17, 2021 8:26 pm Yes, you need to reconnect the HD5450. I would recommend a Radeon HD6XXX.
Do you have another Radeon HD4XXX, 5XXX, or 6XXX for testing? Do you still use the fbdev driver in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf? If yes, please delete the xorg.conf and try it again.Hypex wrote: Thu Aug 19, 2021 3:44 am So found my 5450. But it didn't help. CFE is unable to bring up a screen on it. I must use the serial console which is made harder as space doesn't work. Linux can then boot but the 5450 looks unsupported as the screen goes black. Xorg fails to find a screen. This is strange as I used the 5450 before by itself and it was fine. I wonder if my Fienix install only has later drivers. Or the GPU bandage doesn't support older cards perhaps.
In any case I won't go on. It was just an experiment. I do have a monitor switcher but only have spare VGA cables and a DVI monitor. Plus I read CFE only supports dual boot over VGA. This isn't suitable for my setup nor desirable.

A friend gave me a couple of Radeons. Not sure of the models, not stamped clearly on the label, but could be 6000 series.xeno74 wrote: Thu Aug 19, 2021 10:01 am Do you have another Radeon HD4XXX, 5XXX, or 6XXX for testing?

Yes I do. Though I did test with both and with only 5450. I put the R7 back so I had a display. I found the 5450 still works on my old Ubuntu. But hang on, how does my old Ubuntu support both cards?xeno74 wrote: Thu Aug 19, 2021 10:01 am If you have two graphics cards then you need a special xorg.conf.
X11 has simplified a lot. But it's not up to the point of auto detection unfortunately. Ok so I tried to follow the format and copied the PCI name as listed but it still didn't like it. In fact I made it worse. The X11 log usually lists all chipsets. But now it drops immediately with unknown screen error.xeno74 wrote: Thu Aug 19, 2021 10:01 am If you have two graphics cards then you need a special xorg.conf.
Thanks for the info!
After you have installed Doom 3 with Steam on Windows, you can copy the directories "base" and "d3xp" to your dhewm3 directory (/home/<your user>/.config/dhewm3).xeno74 wrote: Fri Jul 01, 2022 3:46 pm Doom 3 is currently on sale on steam for £0.99 until 7th of July for anyone wanting to get a legal copy of the data files.

One in turn of the CPU cores is always at 100% if Doom3 runs so the PCIe interface to the graphics card is used very often.
