Hi,
I have just purchased a new radeon HD4850 card (my previous one was Geforce 8800GT), but I can't get the Xserver to work. It worked fine (including compiz-fusion) on the nvidia card and I'm writing this while running the nvidia card again.
I tried the instruction posted here http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showth...ighlight=fglrx (except I installed kmod-2.6.27.9-79 instead of akmod ones due to a bunch of other unrelated problems I won't go into at the moment for simplicity's sake) and as far as I can tell the drivers are installed correctly. However, the monitor goes completely black right after starting udev (but its still booting in the background because I can get to tty1 after about 30 sec). Alternatively, if I boot into text mode and then execute startx then it crashes immediately
looking at log file, there are no errors, so I am confused as to why the x server is crashing/no showing anything?Code:(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0@2:0:1) found Failed to set aperture, res=0x00000001 expected keysum, got XF86Info: line 914 of inet
my xorg.conf file:
Any help would be really appreciated, I've spent well over 6 hours trying to fix this and its starting to become... problematicCode:# Xorg configuration created by livna-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/fglrx" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "AIGLX" "on" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "gb" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName "LCD Panel 1680x1050" HorizSync 31.5 - 65.5 VertRefresh 56.0 - 65.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "fglrx" Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off" Option "VideoOverlay" "on" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 EndSection Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection
