Hi,
I've planned to flash my Connect3D x850Pro AGP Card with a x850xt/pe Bios in order to activate the last 4 Pipelines. I used a modded Version of Flashrom and made a Backup of my original Bios with it before I've flashed the Card with the new Bios. Maybe it's useful to say, that I had to use the "force" (-f) Parameter when I wrote the new Bios on the Card.
The flashing worked without any Problems, but afterwards the Catalyst 6.3 Drivers weren't able to find my Graphiccard even though it works (windows xp standart Drivers) and ATI Tool finds it without any Problems.
Since then I've tried several things in order to force the drivers to recognize my Card
1) Tried different Versions of Drivers (ATI & NGO and always deinstalled the old ones before installing new ones)
2) flashed the card with the original backup bios
3) flashed the card with the bios from this site (connect3d x850pro)
4) flashed the card with a third party bios
Nothing helped. ATITool detects every bios-change correctly and the second Adapter of the Card is detected by the catalyst Drivers too, but the first one is still not working correctly.
Is there maybe a way to copy the working bios Informations of the second adapter of the card to the first one? Or does anybody know another way to fix this problem? I don't believe that anything in it is broken, because I use it right now, while I'm writing this text.
Thanks
Rob
P.S. I'm not sure if these Information could help but it's worth the shot
1) Winflash NEVER (at no time) found my Card ("Cannot find discrete ATI Video Card")
2) flashrom -L 0 said the Parts of the ROM are locked
3) ATITool gave me the following lines:
CONFIG_DIE_FUSES 0xFFFF7FFF
CONFIG_SUBSTRATE_FUSES 0xFFFFFF9E
(I've heard that this could possibly tell you if a Card is flashable or not)
EDIT: I've tried to reinstall my old Radeon 9500Pro but the Card has now the same Problems as the x850Pro - the Catalyst Drivers which worked perfect with the old Card before now aren't able to find the card. I've checked my System and it seems as if there is a problem with the resources my GPU and my CPU (AMD64 3200+) want to use.
