Start with: lspci -nn dmesg | grep -i firmware If there are any firmware loading errors, these would probably indicate a need to install some non-free firmware packages (e.g. firmware-amd-graphics). Installing amd64-microcode probably wouldn't hurt either, though it probably won't have an immediately noticeable effect on your graphics.
Re: X problems in Stretch with AMD APU?
Hi Alle, the 4.9 kernel already has amd graphics support, but it needs firmware, others do not have to(perhaps mesa, opengl, opencl). The X window must be on the radeon driver. If I were upgrading then I would always install a new one and switch off the old(or will be secondary hdd :) (Even if I sacrifice three days) systemctl status bluetooth ?

Re: X problems in Stretch with AMD APU?
I'm running 4.11 Got a bit further by removing the MESA libraries for GLX support. That removed many graphics applications and libraries. Then added xserver-xorg-core again and now X starts again. Some work to do because my (wireless USB) keyboard is not recognised in the x session but that should be doable. So it looks like it's OK again but not sure what the crucial step was...

If not, you may want to try to use 16 bits depth, I read somewhere it was needed to get the acceleration to work with that card.

I'm assuming you mean display manager, since you specifically mention "wdm". You don't indicate if another display manager is starting or not. I suggest you try: dpkg-reconfigure wdm or dpkg-reconfigure xdm or dpkg-reconfigure gdm Depending on what you have installed, one of these will probably let you reset wdm as your display manager.

Thanks for your Inputs! @Dave: I tried allready with several depth-parameters with no effect. I think it's really the power-management wich makes these problems.

One thing I forgot to mention (I think).. I originally had my depth set to 24. IIRC, I couldn't get a screen up until I reduced the depth to 16. If your depth is 24 or 32(?), you might try dropping it to 16 and see what happens. You can edit your XF86Config-4 file, or, to just experiment, if you're starting up with startx, you can specify the depth on the startx command line, I believe. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I have an S3 chip in a rather old card. I was using xserver-s3 (v3.3.6). I could never get XFree V4.2.1 from the package to work. I don't recall if I had these blackouts with the 4.2.1 package or not. Seems I did. I finally downloaded the source and compiled my own, installing under /usr/local. I never did determine why my screen did black out like this. I had xserver-s3 v3.3.6, and packages from xfree 4.2.1 installed. Some modules from the wrong version could have been messing things up. One thing you might do if you have this X installed in /usr/local. After I got 4.3 going, a few programs, Pan, for one, would not start because they were getting unresolved symbols in some of the modules. Some of the dynamic links were going to the 4.3 libraries, and were conflicting, so I added this line to my .bashrc: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/X11R6/lib/ and now my X seems to work alright. I had thought to install the standard X 4.3 package from SID, but I'm afraid I'd break it, so I think I'm going to leave this alone for a while. > All my settings in XF86Config-4 are from original vendor-datasheets. > But i didn't set some clock modes.

Hello You can try this ... 1. Add " deb http.us.debian.org/debian sid main " to your /etc/sources.list 2. apt-get update 3. apt-get install xserver-xfree86 4. Download nvidia's driver sources ( NVIDIA_GLX-0.9-769.tar.gz and NVIDIA_kernel-0.9-769.tar.gz ) and install the driver. 5.Configure your card using the tool named xf86config Changes to make in /etc/XF86config-4 6.Replace "nv" with "nvidia" in the Device section 7.In the Module section you should have < Load "glx" > and should not have < Load "GLcore"> 8.

X is running and complains that it can't stat a file, so you create a link so that it can stat itself? Perhaps X wants to find its configuration file... --8< XFree86 uses a configuration file called XF86Config for its initial setup.

Re: X-Problems
Yes we can have gpm and X in a same bed for Debian too. Following scheme works. Run gpm with following. (/etc/gpm.conf) Set gpm to read your real mouse device like /dev/psaux. Set gpm repeater mode to ms3 which is default. Set-up X Read mouse from /dev/gpmdata or /dev/mouse which is link to /dev/gpmdata Set mode to MS or Intellimouse depending on 2 or 3 button If 2 button set emulation on This way, you can unplug mouse and plug in again. You just restart gpm to initialize. No need to restrt X. Quite handy when you have unreliable KB switch unit which go crazy once in a while. Bye.

Re: X-Problems
I'm trying to think where you 2D card is. Please tell me if i am wrong but Voodoo II's were 3D only. Therefore X should be configured with the 2D card (if supported) and then the glide/glut/opengl etc... packages should be installed for 3dfx support. You may also need the 3dfx kernel module to go with /dev/3dfx. Mouse not working, could be gpm or "AutoDectect" is in the mouse config section, change it some mice don't like it.
RE: X-Problems

Re: X problems
Hi, You can edit your xf86config to get high resolution. When I try to use configuration software, it always set to default resolution. If you are satisfied with a certain configuration, you can copy the xf86config to your disk for your furture use. I use the same xf86config file for debian and redhat, and it works fine. Jianbo

The solution for me was to switch from XF86_SVGA to XF86_S3V: install xserver-s3v and change the first line of /etc/X11/Xserver to /usr/bin/X11/XF86_S3V. Probably XF86_SVGA needs some more testing on this video board... someone post a bug report to them? Ciao! Enrico

For example, I use the following line: xset m 4 4 the first number is the acceleration, the second one the number of pixels the mouse has to move within a certain time for the acceleration to be applied.

G. Kapetanios (I think) asked: > > Additionally, I now get an xdm window whenever I boot up despite having > > the no-xdm-start-server in /etc/X11/config. You should also have a line that says 'no-start-xdm' (yours probably says 'start-xdm'). It is this line that controls what happens at boot. The other line (no-xdm-start-server) declares that you can't start X via xdm from the console. You would think that this would also preclude booting with xdm, but they appear to be two seperate issues.

I had to put option "fast_dram" in the xf86config file before it would go up to 1024 at 16 bpp. Even though it can go higher that's the extent of the servers grace. It shows me that the current setup of my clocks etc are maxed out but that isn't true according to the spec's and Win95 settings which match the specs. The "fast_dram" option made the server think my clocks where faster at higher res. than it first thought and it released the higher res. Although it just caused it to use the correct clocks.
