Cannot start X with ATi Radeon X300 on Slackware 10.1
I'm trying to get a Dell OptiPlex GX280 (P4 3.2/1GB RAM/160GB HD) to work with the video card in the subject. I managed to start X using the radeon driver included in X.org 6.8.2, but things were running a little slow... So I decided to install the binary driver from ATi.
Now X doesn't start, it's just a black screen with no mouse pointer and everything is frozen: Ctrl+Alt+Bkspc does nothing, Ctrl+Alt+Del makes one long beep and then nothing (?!); the only thing to do is to power the system off.
I see no errors in the X.org log, the only odd thing is a message about agpgart in the system bootup.
I'm running Slackware 10.1 upgraded to current, with kernel 2.4.29.
Here is the relevant info:
