Thought I'd post some information about what I'm seeing running RH7.3 with
kernel 2.4.20-rc1 on a brand new Dell Dimension 4550. Currently there are
two problems with the machine:
- When I swtich to a text console and back to the X screen, the machine locks
up (or at least the console does not respond anymore).
- The sound driver does not load, although it seems to try.
I'm seeing the following lines of concern from the kernel:

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm happy to try out new
patches.

you don't say the kernel, X, or hardware, but I've seen that personally
with radeon 7500... that what you have?

seems to be ich4 audio - you need 0.23/24 driver for this to work -
check with the AC series - OR -
with my _particular_ i845E chipset - commenting out the "break;" immediately
after the line that goes "Primary codec not ready" makes this work fine --
probably your computer will burst into flames if you do the same or
something... this is *NOT* a recommendation.

The -ac tree may get your sound working. Please let me know either way
(you can just pull the i810_audio and ac97 patches from the tree). The
onboard video probably needs the 4.2 Xservers from 8.0 and may even need
the upcoming 4.3 XFree86 release (or try CVS XFree86 if you are bold)

I applied i810_audio patch from the patch-2.4.20-pre10-ac2 patch bundle.
Didn't see an ac97 patch. Modules loads okay with the following output.
Sound appears to work fine. I'll probably hold off on the X for a little
while...
Thanks for the help!

Kernel is 2.4.20-rc1, X is 4.2.0-8 from RH. The X log reports:
(--) Chipset ATI Rage 128 Pro ULTRA TF (AGP) found
Warnings/errors are:
(WW) R128(0): Can't determine panel dimensions, and none specified.
Disabling programming of FP registers.
(EE) R128(0): No DFP detected
The Dell packing list reports: 32MB ATI RAGE ULTRA 4X AGP.
Probably should take this off linux-kernel....

Hi,
its definitly an X problem.
i ran into similar probs with radeons and rage128s... and seemed to be the
same with different kernels.
Debian unstable contains a fix for that behaviour, but I don't know about RH
7.x and 8.x:
A temporary fix would be disabling drm.
....
Debian changelog:
xfree86 (4.2.1-2) unstable; urgency=low
* patch #000_post421: resynced with xf-4_2-branch as of 2002-10-06
+ Xdm patches: realloc usage, zero malloc()ated memory, enable
/dev/urandom on NetBSD 1.4 and later (#5345, Mike A. Harris, #5401,
Matthias Scheler) (Matthieu Herrb)
+ Fix crash in the TextWidget reported by Hans Wilmer. The bug is fixed in
the TextAction.c patch (actually it was fixed in head, but I forgot to
update the 4.2 branch, that is what most people are using). Also synced
some other bug fixes only in CVS head. (Paulo Cesar Pereira de Andrade)
* patch #002: resynced with xf-4_2-branch updates
* patch #024: new; fix for hangs upon VT switch back to XFree86 on Rage128
and Radeon cards due to failure to set and reset PCI busmastering properly
(thanks, Michel D?nzer) (Closes: #163359)
