XST1 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I just got some advice from some guy on how to fix a problem with my linux distrib (Fedora Core 2 test1) but I can't find this file that he states: I had this exact problem. It was a problem with the radeon xfree86driver and my radeon 9800. The man page for the radeon driver only claims support up to r350 (9700) cards. Not r360 (9800) cards. Maybe not radeon 9600's either. But adding "ChipID 0x4E46" to my XF86Config makes the driver think I have a 9700 and x works right again. From what I've read, only certain drawing operations trigger the lock up. Anyone know the location and name of the file in linux? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markwolfe Veteran Posted March 8, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 8, 2004 If you get stuck on something like this again, try the command locate filename and let Linux do the lookup for you! ;) (this assumes that updatedb has been executed at some point, preferably recently, on your PC. Most distros will put it in cron to be executed on schedule) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
