XFree86 with 3DLabs Oxygen GVX1! Delta processor not recognized.

Post by Karsten Wutzk » Sat, 18 Mar 2000 04:00:00



Hi all!

I'm trying to install XFree86 4.0 and I get an error when testing the
configuration.

I have a 3DLabs Oxygen GVX1 with Gamma and Delta processors onboard. I
looked into the graphic cards supported list and it says both are
supported. As you can see, the Gamma chip is installed properly (so it
seems), however there's no mentioning anywhere of the Delta processor.
Maybe it has something to do with that...

Somewhere down the list you find the following line:
(EE) GLINT(0): Cannot read V_BIOS

Even below there's something saying, that there's no framebuffer memory.
Now the question comes up, which of the two chips (Gamma or Delta) is
effectively controlling the framebuffer. From the days I used a Diamond
FireGL 1000 Pro I remember that it also had a Delta on it so I'd assume
that one controls the framebuffer... just an assumption though! Can
anyone confirm??? I mean no Delta in installation, no framebuffer... So
how would I probably install the Delta processor with XFree86 4.0 then?

Any help appreciated!!!

1. 3DLabs Oxygen GVX1

Hi,
  I am also looking for a similar solution. I haven't been able to get my
Oxygen card to work in any graphics mode except 640x480 from the SVGA
driver. I am not against re-installing 3.3.6 if this is known to get some
results. Anyone have any ideas? Oddly enough the mouse pointer is often
visible when it is trying to activate a graphics mode.

Cheers,
Nicholas.
