Compaq 2500/Mandrake 9.2/X Problem - Minor

[richardclark 0]

I have a Compaq 2500R that I successfully installed Mandrake 9.2 on and everything works fine except when I attempt to start X. I'm using the onboard VGA interface which uses a Cirrus chipset. My config is as follows:

 

Compaq 2500R, 1GB RAM, 5-4.3GB UW-SCSI drives (RAID5), 3-Ethernet interfaces (all work), 4/16GB Tape, SmartArray 2D card. (All work fine).

 

The error I get is as follows based on my XFree86 log from /var/log:

Then I get a bunch of memory errors as though the card has none:

--------------------------------END LOG EXCERPT---------------------

I ran xf86config and redefined the card (it is listed but says not supported), rebooted and tried again with no success. I noticed that I had a new XF86Config.new file in my root directory which led me to believe the file represents the new config from running XF86Config but when I look at the one in my X11 directory, it is different.

 

I have essentially three questions:

 

1. When I run XF86Config, does it copy my new configuration over the old one in the proper directory?

2. Although the card is not supported, yet listed, should I use it or a generic Cirrus module?

3. What else can I do to resolve this problem?

 

I'm hoping to run X remotely to my PC but have to get X running on the server first. Micro X tells me the port is unreachable (177) and I thought X used port 6000 but thats a different problem I believe.

 

Please Help Me!

If you did not install an updated xfree86 version before this happened, yes, it should replace the old config file. This, as you may have guessed, this represents either a problem with the onboard video, or monitor resolution. Try redoing the XF86Config with the exact stats from the monitor, such as the horizontal and vertical refresh rates. You should be able to get these values from te users manual, or on the Compaq/HP website.

 

Of course, if the video chip is not listed as supported on the Mandrake site, then this is most likely the problem. Of course, you could try another video chip choice in the same family, if you can determine what related chip it is the closest to. You may also want to be conservative on the resolution size, say picking 800X600 to see if you can get it to work, then go from there.

 

I found that my LCD monitor was a little tricky and I had to fool with the settings to get it to work properly.

 

I just found the following article that may be of interest;

Ok. I discovered that my XF86Config file is being properly written to the appropriate directory with the settings I chose.

 

I ran the xf86config program again and chose generic for the card (option 11 - Cirrus Generic) and chose the lowest resolutions but ended up with the same problem. I think I know what is going on though and tell me what you think.

 

The problem appears to be that X can't find an available start and ending address in which to allocate to the video. I made some modifications to my XF86Config file to test this scenario and since I get the same error regardless of the settings, the problem persists.

 

Unlike a DOS environment where you can block out a section of memory for video (like in the old days with a memory manager), I have to figure out how to do this in MDK so that the card can receive the space it needs for the memory. It looks like it wants to use a hole at FC00 - FFFF by default but X apparently tried others without success. The "screens found" message is meaningless since it only tells me that screens have been defined in the X86Config file but they can't be used unless the graphics is initialized.

 

Then I thought about running SmartStart and looking at where the video card uses memory but realized that this is useless because MDK remaps it when its running.

 

The monitor is just a generic (Sirex ;( brand - no manuals) but I know what it can do and since I used the minimal settings, I'm sure I'm not exceeding its capabilities.

 

I looked at the site you gave and Thank You. It was somewhat helpful in that it made me evaluate other options or whether I should just go buy a card that is compatible. I'll try some of the things in that article but I suspect my evaluation of the problem is somewhat correct. I'm sure the video will work since it did under RH6 with no problem.

 

If I'm over/under thinking this, let me know but I'm still searching for a solution. By the way, I saw an option in XF86Config for "Option Linear" and "fifo_conservative". What do these do and will they help with the problem you think?
