:? I have a rage 128 pro, from ATI.  I'm using the kernel26 2.6.5 arch linux pacakge.  I get this error, and I have no 3d support.  I get the same error for both xorg and xfree!  And ideas anyone?

Here is my glxinfo output:

    These 6-pin cords are readily available for not much money, but the searches are toturous, often involving references to the G5. Like this one from Amazon (US):

    It will be nice to see if this is fixed.  I have a slow keyboard and mouse issues since upgrading xorg-server to 1.6.1.  I have not found a fix for these yet.

  • Solaris 8 = ATI Rage 128 XPert

    Hello!
    I can't seem to get my ATI Rage 128 XPert video card to work in GUI mode on my computer. Any suggestions?
    Additional Info:
    256MB RAM
    27GB HD
    Solaris 8 loads fine in CLI mode
    I have tried all the video drivers that came with Solaris and none will allow me to go beyond a very low resolution and very few colors. I have used this same machine with Linux, W2K, etc. with no problems.
    One more thing: Solaris would not load at all on my Intel machine, but loaded fine on my AMD processor.

  • Supported flat panel displays for an ATI Rage 128 Pro/G4 500

    I originally was using an Apple 21" CRT display with my G4/500 until the display's picture tube failed. I am now looking to purchase a flat panel w/DVI, using my G4's DVI video port and the Rage 128 Pro card. I have found conflicting information on resolutions supported by the ATI card. I am looking at a Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW 20.1-inch Wide Aspect Flat Panel LCD, and the requirements indicate that my system must be able to support WSXGA+ resolution (1680 x 1050). A 24" version of the Dell monitor requires the support of WUXGA resolution (1920x1200). WIll either of these flat panel monitors work with my G4? If not, what specs do I need to look at to determine compatibility? Thanks.
    Apple G4 500   Mac OS X (10.3.1)   ATI Rage 128 Pro Graphics Card

    Hi JBernstein,
    Karl,
    I greatly appreciate your efforts to resolve my
    question.
    No worries, Mate!
    To address a question you posed earlier, no, my G4
    did not come with a ADC port. I have both VGA and
    DVI-D ports on my G4/500 (Graphite) with the Rage 128
    Pro ADP card, which is 16 mb and 2x.
    From that, I would infer that you computer is not ADC enabled.
    It was the Genius at
    the Apple Store who mentioned the Radeon 9000 card as
    a replacement. but he also suggested that the current
    20" Apple display would work with my G4 ... we tried
    that today, and the OS would not launch and power the
    display. SO, we must replace the card, or live with
    small displays.
    Yes, the ATY 128 Pro generally does not have enough grunt to power the larger displays.
    I did find a number of Radeon 9600 Pro Mac Edition
    video cards on eBay, but most had a published spec of
    4X, and the response to whether it was backwards
    compatible with the 2x capability in my G4/500 is
    that it will not work. Is that true?
    All the information I have (via the ATI website) does not specifically state that the 9600 card will support AGP 2X. Other ATI cards that do support 2X have this specifically stated in the information. Therefore, there is no garauntee that the 9600 card will support 2X. Until I receive information that someone has used this card in an AGP 2X computer with success, I cannot advise trying to use it.
    I have not
    confirmed the Radeon 8500 as yet, but as you might
    imagine, it is frustrating to get conflicting
    responses.
    The ATI Radeon 8500 will work in your computer (as, partially, will the 9000 - refer to my earlier posting).
    Perhaps you might address a different question ... is
    there any place within Apple that I can go, even with
    paying a fee for services, that would definitively
    provide an absolute solution to an upgrade type
    question, complete with exact part number AND
    guarantee that the information is quite accurate? Why
    wouldn't Apple provide some type of infomration on
    replacement/upgrade path for older products (geez ---
    the G4/500 Graphite isn't even on the legacy products
    list yet) so that the customer can invest and upgrade
    without going through a challenging process to get
    the right information? The information I've turned up
    is vague and not geared towards solutions like this.
    Apple, for all sorts of reasons (legal and commercial), is loath to provide "official" advice on the use of any third party upgrade hardware on their products. Moreover, discussions on the morality of this is probably against the terms and conditions of this discussion forum.
    I'm all ears as to how to move forward with this G4
    with a replacement card, if that is possible.
    The way I see it, you need either an ATI 8500/9000 if your only desired upgrade is the capacity to run larger displays, or an ATI 9800 is you wish to do gaming, graphics and be able to make full use of all the new Tiger graphics facilities.
    Cheers!
    Karl

  • PCI ATI Rage 128 Pro

    I just bought an ATI Rage 128 Pro 32MB PCI video card for my early quicksilver G4 (733 MHz, 1GB RAM). The idea was to add a second monitor to my 15" Apple Studio Display connected to the AGP card (ATI Rage 128 Pro with ADC and VGA). Doesn't work though:
    Card does not show up in System Profiler.app in either PCI or Graphics/Displays
    Display does not show up in System Preferences.app - Displays tab
    Quick search on Apple.com, ATI, OWC, and Google reveals no driver information for this card.
    Thanks in advance,
    -- Aubrey Granner

    The reason I bought this card was how I plan to use it and what I already have.
    Right now, I have an older Apple Studio Display that I like and don't want to replace. It requires a Apple Display Connector, so that means I have to keep the current AGP card:

    I just bought a new LCD TV and it's near the mac so I thought I'd get a VGA cable and watch videos on the new screen. I don't need the "horsepower" because I'm not doing intense graphic processing, just flat, high-resolution video (I like to watch European TV shows).
    Because of these reasons I bought the cheapest PCI card I could: $20
    If there's another card that will work for what I want to do without breaking the bank, please let me know.
    Thanks,

  • ATi Rage 128 PRO with DVI adaptor

    I got a PowerMac G4 with Ati Rage 128 Pro which has a VGA and a DVI port on it
    I would like to know if the DVI port going to work with the Apple DVI to Video adaptor?
    I know the postage of the adaptor said it is only for PowerMac G5 and Mac mini but is there any differences between the DVI port on the ATi Rage 128 PRO and those on G5 and Mac Mini?
    Is there any other solution that I can output the display to a TV with s-video or RGB?
    Thank you so much!!
    Cheers,

    It's not the port, but the card that matters. The conversion to video is done by the card. The adapter just sends the output to the correct pins. I think the only cards that work are the recent ATI cards. Yours is probably too old. ATI's web-site doesn't have any information on it.

    You can get a newer graphics card or use a VGA to Video converter.

    There are other, cheaper, ones.

  • Rage 128 PCI video card no deep sleep

    Does anybody know of a PCI video card that I can use in my Quicksilver for a third monitor that will allow deep sleep. The Rage 128 does not.

    Hi: That video card is not compatible with Windows Vista or W7.

  • 8600 and ATI Rage 128

    Hello all. I have an 8600/200 with a Sonnet G3 400 upgrade card running OS 9.1. I installed an ATI Rage 128 video card from a PM G3 (blue and white, I think). It works OK but when I'm surfing the web and I scroll up/down the page doesn't scroll smoothly, but is instead choppy. I know the card is not native to this 8600 model, but is there any way to smooth out the scrolling choppiness? Is there a driver download from Apple or ATI? Or, would there be another type of video card that would remedy the scrolling for this machine? I installed this card to help speed up the startup since I am using an IBM monitor and at startup it takes longer for the monitor to turn on. Before I installed the ATI card, it had a VGA adapter which worked OK but also had the same startup delay for the monitor, but the scrolling worked better. I've had the same delay with other monitors. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. John

    I'm with Grant in assigning 40-odd MB of Ram for use by any OS 9-and-below browser, and with Jeff in using a RAM Disk (under any OS that is capable of supporting one) for the browser's cache, be that browser Netscape, Mozilla or IE. That the RAM Disk may not be persistent (ie, is lost at shutdown) is not often, if ever, a source of sorrow.
    If screen redrawing (as tested by Chris's suggestion) is slow, the suspicion has to be that the video card's memory is deficient, either in quantity or activity. If that is the case, removal of the card and careful cleaning of its edge connector, followed by its reseating, and careful checking for the presence and loading of its drivers (in Extensions Manager) may be in order. The quantity oof VRAM you can do little about but by upgrading the whole card. It is not impossible that some housekeeping of your hard drive may be in order. How full is it (85% or less is desirable)? Has it been recently defragmented both as to files and file directory to provide contiguous free space and ready access to files? You may have arrived at a point where the accumulation of little hindrances has become a large hurdle.

  • HOW TO ATi Rage 128

    Hello,
    I've posted a few topics about my ATi Rage 128 card... all with minimal help. Unfortunatley there doesn't seem to be anybody out there that knows how to use the Video card... I want to know how to use the inputs on the card? Can I use them as video capture tools? Should i, instead of trying to get this to work, just upgrade to a radeon card??? Thanks in advance,

    There are no current video cards (with engines newer than the ATI Rage 128 that allow video input), the newer cards only have S-Video, DVI and VGA output. Using them is simple. Plug in the desired device and boot your machine, at least thats how it should work.
    As far as I know, the Rage 128s video input is the only supported under OS9 or earlier. As for output, it works just like any other graphics card, although I think it only supports one screen at a time, but I could be wrong.

  • No kext for Xserve's ATI RAGE 128 in Leopard

    Xserve running OS X Server 10.5.2
    The Xserve has an ATI RAGE 128 PCI graphics card from an old G3 Blue & White. System Profiler shows no kext loaded for the graphics card. The monitor displays OK, but ScreenSharing and Timbuktu both display ragged text and graphics when connecting to the Xserve.
    The Extensions for the older ATI RAGE 128 graphics cards are absent from Leopard, since it isn't spec'ed to run on the B&W.
    Has anyone tried using the ATI RAGE 128 Extensions from Tiger in Leopard?
    Has anything changed in the way extensions are implemented that would cause Tiger's ATI RAGE 128 Extensions to fail?
    TIA,
    Sam

    The Rage 128 Pro has all the drivers it needs in OSX, and OS9.2x. Since ATI considers it a discontinued product, they do not supply any drivers or support for it anymore. Try a google search for a manual, you might find one. Make sure to look for the Mac Rage 128 when you look it up.
    Here is the thing, because these cards were shipped OEM by Apple (not retail) they didn't come with any cables or manuals, that I am aware of. You might find one for a similar Mac ATI Rage 128 based video card.

  • Hmmm.... Original 16 Meg ATI AGP Rage 128 Pro or 32 Meg ATI PCI Mac 7000 ?

    I have both of these cards installed in my 466 (soon to be 733) MHz DA tower.
    Which one should I be using for best all-around performance ???
    M

    Jeff sez:
    The Radeon GPU is better/faster than the older Rage 128 Pro. In addition to having more memory, the Radeon cards have DDR SDRAM, as opposed to the SDRAM found on the Rage card. The performance difference between the two cards is noticeable, so I'd go with the Radeon.
    I sez:
    To check out the difference between PCI vs AGP video performance I used a 22 inch LaCie set at millions of colours on my AGP Graphics Digital Audio G4 tower, I installed two contemporary video cards in it and then ran only the video component of XBench on the computer twice, once with the monitor connected to each card and nothing connected to the other. The results were more or less what I expected, but they were interesting. The two cards I used for the test were both ATI cards. One of them was the 16-meg Rage128 Pro AGP card that came stock in my 466 MHz DA G4 tower and the other was a theoretically much better 32-meg DDR ATI Radeon PCI 7000 Mac Edition. The only other installed PCI card (besides the Radeon 7000) is a VIA Vectro VT6212L USB 2.0 card.
    When the video testing was all finished the AGP card, with 16 Megs of VRAM, scored considerably higher than the 32-meg PCI card in every category of the test. The overall XBench score for the computer, with no other changes, was 32.08 with the PCI video card and 38.04 with the Rage 128 Pro AGP graphics card installed. Frames per second for spinning squares results were 55.58 with the PCI card, 65.77 with AGP. What was most notable was the Text results: only 2.13 thousand characters per second with the 32-meg DDR Radeon 7000 Mac Edition versus a whopping 5.12 thousand characters per second with the 16-meg AGP card.
    I suspected the AGP was better than PCI but I did not expect a 16-meg AGP card to overwhelm a PCI card with 32MB of double data rate memory. Live & learn.

  • Need ATI Rage 128 support on Solaris 8-1-01 (Intel)

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Solaris 8 (the new 8-1-01 release) onto an intel-based PC with an AGP-based ATI Rage 128 video driver, and there appears to be no option listed in the video driver list on the install CD, and the dirver on the hardware isn't recognized. I've tried a couple of the ATI drivers, but they seem to be PCI-based only, so of course, don't find the board, and I don't get beyond the hardware config phase. I notice there's a patch (#109401-05) specifically for ATI Rage 128 drivers, but how to apply if I can't install in the first place? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!
    David

    Have you tried installing and selecting the "Generic 640X480" support? The continue on through the rest of the install.
    Once you get that all complete, add the new driver, then run kdmconfig to reconfig the video stuff.
