I hate to come with this kind of a query, but my googling hasn't come
across a satisfactory answer.
I'm running an install on a brand new laptop for a client, and I'm
trying to get X up using xdm- nothing. The logs says it failed to load
fbdev because there is no data module.
I try uninstalling fbdev and running a rebuild of xorg- its still
using the builtin configuration and still can't load fbdev. No devices
detected.
I run Xorg -configure, and it shows the radeon card fine, 2 displays.
Still working with the config file, but it seems fine.
correction - its dual display issue that I've never had trouble with
before (I also have installed on a HTPC with same memory, phenom quad
core, uses a radeon HD card and a NVidia HD card). And no, the Xorg
-config /root/xorg.conf.new [-retro] doesn't work as it is locking up
and I can't even ctl-alt-backspace, I have to acpi power off to shut the
system down. Google's still not giving me any hope... :( Last time I
came across this level of issue was with a solo vintage intel card on
yet another laptop- it froze the system too.
BTW, who says multicard vga is rare?
WTF? This is essentially the same hardware as another laptop I've
setup (same video card - same brand CPU, just bigger and faster), and
its fine. Both are AMD, the original is athlon dual core, the new is
phenom quad core.
The googling failed as my searches came up with either root has access
and user doesn't, or mixed intel/ati. Neither are the case here...
Cheers
