### End xorg.conf ###
This xorg.conf won't load ati-drivers at all. If it works, it is
probably running with another driver (radeon or vesa perhaps). You
need to run "aticonfig --initial" as root first.
Really? My understanding had been that xorg-server-1.5.3 uses evdev and
runs happily without an xorg.conf file. Without an xorg.conf I had
keyboard and font problems -- cured by the above configuration.
As an experiment, I ran the suggested command ( "aticonfig
--initial" ). This added a lot to xorg.con and I then restarted X.
My screen resolution dropped from 1280x1024 to 640x480 and the screen
looked awful.
I've returned to the short config shown above.
To be honest, I don't know which display driver is in use and don't
much care since the display is working fine AFAICT.
The only reason to use ati-drivers is to have fast, accelerated OpenGL.
You're probably not using ati-drivers at all. So you're a bit
off-topic to this whole thread :P fglrx ("ati-drivers") required an
xorg.conf entry. This is done with aticonfig --initial and after that
you have to run the Catalyst Control Center ("amdcccle" in a terminal,
you'll also find it in the start menu) and adjust your resolution and
other settings (anti-aliasing, vsync, anisotropic filters, etc.) there.
