Hi Patrick
Thanks for your reply.
I did what you mentioned below. The results are:
Xserver works after aticonfig, if fglrx kernel module is not loaded.
Xserver doesn't work, if the kernel module is loaded. Instead, the
system hangs completly, leaving me with a black screen, no more terminal
access (ctrl-alt-F1) and doesn't even soft reboot (ctrl-alt-del).
The fact that the new configuration worked without the kernel module,
gave me the idea to check whether dpfk-reconfigure xserver-xorg would
work, if the kernel module is not loaded. The result was, that it didn't
work. This applies to both possibilities; using the kernel framebuffer
and not using the kernel framebuffer for graphics.
Third, i recognized, that my original xorg.conf posted yesterday had two
spelling mistakes in the second device section. So i've deleted this
section entirely. The X server still works with only one device section
like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc RV410 [Radeon X700 Pro (PCIE)]"
Driver "fglrx"
BusID "PCI:2:0:0"
EndSection
That's all i know so far. Please let me know, if i can help with some
further tests.
Regards
Daniel

Hello,
what happens if you do the following e.g. (as root):
mv /etc/X11/xorg.comf /etc/X11/xorg.comf.backup
rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf
aticonfig --initial --force

If the kernel-module is loaded, the x-server doesn't start up.
lspci shows this devices on my system:
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV410 [Radeon
X700 Pro (PCIE)]
02:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV410 [Radeon X700 Pro
(PCIE)] (Secondary)
startx gives this messages:
WW no device for ID 02:00.1 found
EE no device found (lines remembered by heart, no exact report)
This even happens, if the ati driver is chosen in xorg.conf
To start xorg, i had to uninstall the kernel module and to set two
device sections like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc RV410 [Radeon X700 Pro
(PCIE)]"
Driver "fglrx"
BusID "PCI:2:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon X700
driver "fglrx"
BusID "PCO:2:0:1"
EndSection
Now the x-server works with indirect 3D rendering.
With the older fglrx kernel module (downloaded in November, cannot
remember the exact version), the module worked on the same system with
hardware 3D rendering.
