Problem: fglrx-driver + X.ORG.6.9.0
Hello folks, I have a slight Problem with my new notebook (got it as guarantee exchange) with an ATI graphics card and Turion processor. Description: The driver I choose was version 8.22.5 (from ATI). I built the packages with .run --buildpkg Debian/sid and installed it with dpkg -i. So far it went all fine. But acceleration will not work. I can start X with correct resolution 1280x800 in two different cases: Case 1: I comment Load dri in corg.conf out. Case 2: I do not install the kernel-module fglrx-kernel-*** In both cases I got th correct screen. In other cases I got a blank screen, which cannot be switched back (i.e. with CTRL + ALT + Backspace). I googled and read something about libdri.la, but could not confirm an error. Is there any clue ? Is this the crappy driver or might this be a configuration error by myself. I sent my xorg.conf as attachement (please do not wonder about the description, I had an Nvidia-card before in my old notebook. As I said: It was exchanged due to a guarantee case) Thank you very much for your help ! Best regards Hans P.S. BDale, if you read this: I was ill the last days, and I am still checking tah problem with tar. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I sent my xorg.conf as attachement (please do not wonder about the description, I had an Nvidia-card before in my old notebook. As I said: It was exchanged due to a guarantee case) Well I have no idea. I have seen many ati mobile chips in the past lock up with a black screen when the ati drivers had a crap (which they often do). I would personally never accept any machine with an ati video chip in it until some day when ati writes working drivers. It would be a very bad exchange to make. it was one of the few requirements when we got my wifes laptop. The video had to be nvidia, and the cpu had to be an athlon 64.

The nvidia driver has been stable for me for years now and I was happy to see this trend continue with x86-64. I just replaced one ATI X850XT PE with a 7800GS for exactly this reason.

I've been looking around for such a thing and it seems all I can find are Turion's with ATI chipsets. Compaq R3240 There are similar models in the R3000 range from compaq. Only problems with the laptop is that the wireless is broadcom so it needs ndiswrapper to work for now (although maybe someone will manage to reverse engineer this common chip sometime), and the texas instruments flash card reader, which being TI is of course completely imposible to get documentation for. Not that it works with cards over 500M anyhow, so who cares. They may of course have decided to discontinue that line of laptops by now, given the ATI radeon X200 seems to darn popular in new AMD laptops, which is a shame given how much trouble it is causing for people trying to run linux, and I hate shared memory video. :) Other laptops I see with nvidia graphics: Alienware Aurora 7700m VooDoo envy u:709 Mtech D900K Asus Z71V has GeForce 6600 PCIe (with intel centrino so not amd) Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hello Hans, try building the packages with: ati-driver-installer-8.22.5-x86_64.run --buildpkg Debian/unstable That worked for me, the Debian/etch target does not support 6.8.
