SUSE ATI Video Card, Monitors go blank for X-Windows PLEASE HELP
So after I installed the ATI Radeon 3400 series video card in my machine, the Xserver cant start! after it loads, it takes me to the init 3. When I tried startx, the screens either go blank or doesnt let me.
I tried to install everything following this website: w w w .yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxAndDualMonitors.html I wanted dual monitors but now I cant even get one. The xwindows doesnt appear. Things I tried: 1. Deleted the xorg.conf and reconfigured (didnt work). 2. sax2 -r -m 0=versa (didnt work) 3. reconfigured the ATI radeon driver from init 3 (didnt work) 4. copy and paste the oold version of xorg.conf (didnt work) 5. tried to run set apt or dpkg-reconfigure command (commands not found) 6. tried xconfig and prompt the best I coudl (didnt work). 7. aticonfig commands (As shown in website) (also didnt work) Please anything else I can try? I have the live CD to run it from there but I dont know what to do once I get to the terminal. Is there any way I can revert to previous configuration since the ATI driver gives me some problems? Like a restore function in windows? Can someone explain how or what files I should change for the X-server to run properly (is there any other file than xorg.conf?....) PLease anything any clue will be greatly appreciate, I spent one entire day trying to figure it out. The monitors I have: 2009W Dell Monitor 1398 Dell Monitor (I wan to get the dual exntended monitor but it seems to gave me only the mirror image, thats why I tried to reconfigure the video card) VideoCard: ATI HD Radeon Mobile 3400 Series Computer: Dell Optiplex 680 (i believe) with SUSE 11.26 and x86_64 bit Or if you can send me the xorg.conf file ...then it will be great!! Thank you in advance. |
Hi -
All of the things you tried (especially "sax -r" and deleting xorg.conf) were good ideas, and, typically, any *one* of the things you tried should probably have worked. You're definitely on the right track! STRONG SUGGESTION: Look at your Xorg.0.log file, try to identify the "first" error, and cut/paste it here. Thanx in advance .. PSM PS: You might try to create a "dummy user" and log in as that user. Perhaps the real problem is in your local user configuration, and not the global X settings. |
Apparently this log file is very big. I cant copy all of it unless you want me to.
The first line of error deal with... (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/local" does not exit. Entry deleted from font path .... ... and continues. Besides this i dont see any error....thanks in advance |
