Hi, i have a t42p with an  ATI Technologies Inc M10 NT [FireGL Mobility
T2] (rev 80) (prog-if 00 [VGA]), with ati-drivers 8.8.25-r2, atitvout
0.4.

The 1st Problem:
------------------------------------<snip>------------------------------------
# atitvout pal auto
VBE call failed.
Maybe this command is not supported by your graphics adapter?
Did your parameters (if you specified some) really make sense?
Please try all other available commands before complaining!

The 2nd Problem ;):
------------------------------------<snip>------------------------------------
# fglrxinfo 
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.1)
------------------------------------</snap>-----------------------------------

All "good" things are 3 :p
DynamicClocks wont work with the firegl, is there something simular.

It seems that atitvout doesnt support my video card firegl2. Is that
correct?

atitvout says:
------------------------------------<snip>------------------------------------
# atitvout vbe
VBE Version: 2.0
VBE OEM Identification: ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600

The modul is loaded (fglrx 235200  0)

The strange thing is, that fglrx was running, i dindt know what i have
done that i became that error, didnt update drivers or kernel or
something elese. After getting the error i recompiled the ati-drivers
but i doenst work :p

I hope that 3 questions in one mail are ok :| i did this because all 3
questions and error are belong to on thing, xorg and so on.
