system-config-display problens
I got fed up with trying to get the proprietary Nvidia driver working, and I found out that the open-source radeonhd driver does 3D on some older models. I found an older radeon card (radeonhd supposelly should do 3D with its chipset) lying around, and I put in in my computer instead of the nvidia card.
I closed up the case, booted up, and did: Code:
su Code:
Traceback (most recent call last): EDIT: the GPU is a radeon HD2600 |
I found a place where it said how to make a dual head xorg.conf file, I did so, but when I run startx it says Fatal Error : No Screen Found.
|
I tried searching, but couldn't find anything. Maybe I'm searching for the wrong stuff.
But all I need is to have a dual-head (Xinerama probably) setup with radeonhd driver. Could anyone tell me how to do this? |
I tried "system-config-display --noui --set-driver=radeonhd" and then restarted the X server, and this came up on my screen (see attachment)!
I hit Ctrl-Alt-Bksp, deleted xorg.conf, and ran startx again, and I got my desktop back. (but still no acceleration :() Oh, and that little square which I labelled mouse pointer in the picture actually did move with the mouse! |
