OpenSUSE 11 DVI head not working. ATI


Hello,

I just installed openSUSE 11 on my box and it has a dual-head ATI Radeon x1650 Pro (PCI-X) video card. I have installed the newest drivers from ATI. My only problem is that the DVI head does not output any video when X starts, but it starts up fine on an VGA attached monitor. I honestly don't know where to start. Also I know in other distros there is a nice place to select which graphic driver your card is using but I am unable to find it. I've searched everywhere else and none of the "fixes or workarounds" I have seen worked for me.. here is my xorg.conf. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

so during startup you have picture but when the computer starts X the screen goeas blank??

If you have multiple monitors disconnect all but the primary. I would try to startup with failsafe boot-option. This way you should get picture in X. When you come to the kdm/gdm choose, from the meny at the bottom, login as console(or something equal - not sitting by my linux-can right now). In console mode start up yast, go to harware - monitor.
In here you can do an automated search for your monitor. It usually dosen't say anything, it appears to be working. After it is done save, quit and restart. now use the ordinary boot selection.
Hopefully this will get rid of your problem.
