Slackware 10.0 Radeon Drivers.........
I know that this has been discussed a million times here because I have been trying to solve a problem that I am having for the last 2 weeks or so. I figured that I would post and tell you guys my setup because it does seem to be different than most of the other ATI related problems. Basically I am running Slackware 10.0 with a Radeon 9000. I have downloaded the drivers from ATI and installed them about 10 times so far. if I type fglrxinfo this is what i get:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
Error: unable to open display :0
Now the only thing that i want to do with this card is use tv-out. I connect to the box remotely using xdmcp and ssh. The ATI control panel throws an error about fireglcontrol not being able to found. It seems to me that the module for the radeon card is not even getting loaded or something. if i connect a monitor to the box it works and fglrxinfo outputs some information about mesa but still says that the connection is refused. Once again, all i care about is getting tvout to work. I am not very familiar with the x-window system or its config files. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
