Gnome directs to unavaible display
I have installed X-Server & Gnome. I followed the Handbook on how to install.
I have an ATI Raideon 9200 that has to use the X11.org drivers. It's a PCI card with DVI, VGA, S-Video. DVI and VGA are not in use due to no Monitor (This is only temporary till July 3, 2012). I do have a T.V. connected via S-Video until then. Under the GUI, I know how to activate S-Video, but how do I using command line? I have to run Code:
startx Edit: The CLI displays the way it should and only after I startX does it change. |
I never had to deal with a setup like yours. But see if this info helps:

I've come to the conclusion and it might also be fear of breaking the system and having to start over but I think I'm SOL till I get a new Monitor.
It would be nice though to be able to have a TV mode for watching Movies and other Video. Due to budget I'm stuck using old school means and in some cases hardware. |
ATI Radeon™ graphics | ATI Technologies Linux Driver
I've had a problem trying to get my correct Video drivers to install.
Before doing some more research, I thought I was stuck having to use the x.org drivers but then I found this after looking at http://packages.gentoo.org/category/...xotic&full_cat I then procceded with Quote:
Code:
dallas@dragon ~ $ sudo ./ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run Any ideas? I started this proccess under another thread but wasn't able to locate it but once I do I will do an edit and add a link to that thread. [LINK REMOVED] |
Video Card correction ATI Raideon *9200* is actuall 9550 being detected wrong.
New thread started ATI Radeon™ graphics | ATI Technologies Linux Driver with corrected card info. |
Those are the legacy drivers. AMD decided to drop support of pre-HD series Radeon cards about 3 years ago.
They won't work with recent X.org and kernel versions, so you're better trying again with the opensource ones. |
