X's blank screen: ATI drivers+Radeon A9250+Xorg+Vanilla 2.6.14.3+Slackware 10.2
Hello people!
Can you help me? I have an Asus Radeon A9250 Gamer Edition (256MB) and when I install the ATI Official Linux's driver (whit the Installer or whit the .rpm) (and when I edit xorg.conf) at the next reboot Xorg, and the PC crash in a blank screen. On this forum I have read of one person whit a Debian and whit this Videocard that he had my same problem, but now his PC works, he has used a .deb (precompiled). I don't remember the topic's name... :( I use Slackware 10.2 and Xorg 6.8.2 whit Kernel Vanilla 2.6.14.3 How I can make running the driver? Goodbye! P.S. Exucse me for my English, but I'm Italian... :) |
Post this part of /usr/src/linux/.config
Code:
CONFIG_AGP=m |
/usr/src/linux-2.6.14.3/.config
This is my AGP's section of the Kernel .config file:

That will do it, looks like you have nvidia need;
# CONFIG_AGP_ATI is not set <--- this as a "m" Code:
cd /usr/src/linux Edit grub or lilo and if lilo run lilo sample for grub Code:
title=Gentoo Code:
image=/vmlinuz reboot into the new kernel then use ati's new installer https://support.ati.com/ics/support/...ge&folderID=27 I can't give you the direct link as it is a little confusing but keep going until you see this ; Code:
ATI Driver Installer |

Or I need to change the parameters directly on "make menuconfig"? Quote:
Thanks for you help! :) P.S. If i use the "vmlinuz" bootloader doesn't load it, it gives back an error... I need to use the "bzImage" (arch/i386/boot/bzImage), it's correctly? |
What you are doing is making a new kernel. Just add it to the others. Are you using lilo?
That is the same cpu AMD Sempron 2800+ that I am using on that box. make the new kernel and install it; cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig find the agp stuff and follow mine, then make modules_install make install (this will install the kernel, set up the symbolic link to vmlinuz, just look in /boot and you should see it then update lilo /sbin/lilo my motherboard will support 64bit but I use the 32bit sempron If you are using the 64bit? Quote:
To see if it is there cd /boot ls After you install the kernel did you run lilo? what happened? I just like to install kernels this way. the next one I install will be vmlinuz and the one before becomes vmlinuz.old And It can be confusing, the .config file is in your kernel, I have always rerun make menuconfig and let it create the new file, I guess you could just edit it but I have never done it that way. Also here is my xorg.conf and kernel .config http://abbottdavid.no-ip.info/te2000/index6.html This is on a laptop with a; 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE) |
Agp-amd?
Ok, on this moment I use Fedora, soon I switch to Slackware and I test this configuration!

It's only one curiosity, because the PC runs perfectly whit the bzImage,but I have read many times that the correct image's vmlinuz.. Quote:

But... I must activate "# CONFIG_AGP_AMD" (for Slackware 32bit) and "CONFIG_AGP_AMD64" (for Fedora Core 64bit) (just like modules)?? I have not understood this... |
post cat /proc/cpuinfo
I think this; CONFIG_AGP_AMD is for some other graphics driver, I have never used it.Not sure about the 64bit .. also post lspci |
Ah OK, now I have understood all the answer... :)
Sorry but I don't speak English very good... You have my same one CPU, and you don't have AGP-AMD activated... Then not servants true? But it serves to what? |
