Hi all, sorry for not being able to join the irc debug session last evening...
though it seems we have have narrowed the problem down to a peculiar comibination of HW (ATI HD 5770/5750), e17 ver, xorg version and x org drivere version. just trying get a more clear picture I'm running X.Org X Server 1.10.4 with fglrx used as video driver (defined in xorg.conf) installed using apt-get install fglrx-updates on an ubuntu box ver 11.10, that's the output of uname -a: Linux suino 3.0.0-14-server #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:49:05 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Mike what's your xorg version and which driver are you using for your 5770? I'm going to try to configure my Xorg dropping the binary only driver and using instead the one provided by: xserver-xorg-video-radeon i.e. http://www.x.org/wiki/radeon I'll report back Andrea On 12/22/2011 08:49 PM, mh wrote: > Leif, > > Following up on our irc session today: I deleted > /opt/e17/lib/enlightenment/conf_randr and restarted e.
