ATI Radeon 9200 not functioning ubuntu
I know this has been posted many of times but many of times without a solution
My card is plugged in When i enable the card in bios (switching graphics from onboard to pci) The bootscreen for ubuntu freezes on starting the hotplug subsystem When i change it to onboard in the bios ubunty runs fine Since my 9200 is a bit better then the onboard i would like to find a working solution for this I've seen other posts similar to this that recommend Xorg 6.8 That file seems to be .rpm the rest are all run files So from different aspects my graphics card is a challenge on it's own Is this just a bios issue? Some help would be appreciated P.S I know i post alot of posts with questions but i am extremely new to linux and so far am loving it even though windows simplicity seems to be lurking around the corner I'm just trying to find a learning curve for a new,better and more stable platform then microsoft will ever be able to release cheers |
Try "lspci" and make sure your card is recognised.
It might help to install the proprietry ATI drivers. 1) Install the following packages using apt-get: linux-686 and xorg-driver-fglrx. 2) Add fglrx to /etc/modules: Code:
echo fglrx | sudo tee -a /etc/modules Code:
sudo sed -s 's/"ati"/"fglrx"/' -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf 4) Logout, and restart the computer, since you have installed a new kernel. I hope this helps --ian |
Did you plug the monitor into the pci card?
|
0000:01:0a.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 5940 (rev 01)
It's there but not recognized |
Code:
0000:01:0a.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO (rev 01) The old line is still present though which is this one: Code:
0000:01:0a.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 5940 (rev 01) This did not matter any It still froze when trying to start the hotplug subsystem Also perhaps something needed When i boot up all the thinsg loaded are checked with [ok] When my bios is to read the onboard gfx card It boots and starts but the starting hotplug subsystem does not receive an [ok] Hope to get this sorted, cheers |
Here is a full listing of my pci listings
Code:
0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface (rev 03) When i installed the card in windows It gives me 2 ATI cards in one This would be because the one pops up as ATI Radeon 9250 Secondary Could that be my tv-out? And why is it that when i change to pci mu hotplug subsytem refuses to start? It won't load passed this point untill i change it onboard graphic card in BIOS I'm losing faith that this will ever be resolved |
It doesn't look like you have the modules built. You will need either the kernel headers or kernel source along with gcc and make. Basically all the Kernel Development packages. If I am not mistaken ubuntu has dependancy checks and if you run this rpm it will tell you what those are.
I would only trust this driver as I have tried the newer drivers and they either had serious issues with my hardware, or the libGL.so.1.2 file was not built correctly by ati. Hope that was helpful |
