Re: Debian Etch error using Radeon 9800 Pro
Hmm.. which motherboard do you have?

 
Re: Debian Etch error using Radeon 9800 Pro
Asus K8* Deluxe, with * being something with a V, I'm thinking VN. After some searching I couldn't locate my driver CD or manual, and Windows isn't just letting me see the mobo. I'll check at the next reboot.

EDIT: SiSoft Sandra is a great thing: K8VSEDX, which is the K8V Special Edition Deluxe, and an Asus Apollo K8T800 chipset.

Ok then, I think it might be worth a try to add agp_via after agpgart in the /etc/modules.

I added that line, but can't see any changes in the lsmod output, nor does the game run.

Re: Debian Etch error using Radeon 9800 Pro
If I swap the thing for a Geforce 4200, would things work?

Well, most people have had better luck with nVidia products (me included).
But I wouldn't dare to promise anything after the exercise in futility we've had so far :)
