[gentoo-user] (EE) R128(0): No DFP detected

[maxim wexler]

Hi group,

I get this error when I attempt startx. I have a
legacy AGP Rage128, ATI card and the driver is
compiled into the kernel to allow for the framebuffer.

So far I've emerged vf86-video-ati and then, in
desperation, xf86-video-vga without success.

I don't see anything else under
/usr/portage/x11-drivers that would suit.

ati-drivers is for the higher end Radeon products
isn't it, I mean the newer low-voltage stuff?

There's a few links on the Web to similar problems but
no solutions that I've been able to uncover.

Maxim

The good news is that startx works. The bad news is
that the error remains on the login screen.

What I did was to let xorgconfig find my mouse
automatically, option 1, instead of selecting
Microsoft Two Button mouse, option 5, which is what
I'm using.

So, I guess this error is for something else, but why
it doesn't crash the server is beyond me.
