Any log messages?
Are you using a CRT?
Does X start, if you use the vesa driver?

[arch-general] Awesome 3.5

2012-12-23 Thread Sébastien Luttringer 
Hello,

as a Chritsmas gift, Awesome 3.5 was released yesterdaty and will be
available in few minutes in our community-testing repository.

As you can expect, this update _will_ break your configuration. Please
take time to read the announce[0] from Uli about this release before
upgrading.

If everything goes well, it should be moved into community this week.

Cheers,

This sounds like you still have the generated config from catalyst
driver in /etc/X11. That xorg.conf disturbs the autoconfiguration of X.

If you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf, delete it. X should work after that,
most of the time autodetection does its job like a charm.

Christoph

[arch-general] ati mobility radeon x2300

2012-12-23 Thread Δημήτρης Ζέρβας 
I have an hp laptop with a m64-s. I can't get X output. I've tried catalyst
proprietary but I found out that my gpu isn't supported since long time
ago. so I try to setup with opensource drivers. also if i don't "nomodeset"
on boot, the pc is hungs on boot.
when i startx with the radeon mod loaded I get:
Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section.
and then
no screens found
