Hi,
After installing the latest ATI drivers (fglrx_4_3_0-8.10.19-1.i386) and restarting X everything seems good. I haven't really checked if performance is optimal, but there is no doubt the driver is loaded and things are accelerated.
However, when I reboot I only get to where gdm is loaded, and then I get only a black screen. Ctrl+Alt+Del does nothing, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does nothing, etc..
I can ssh into the box from my old one, and top shows XFree86 using 99,9% CPU.
As shown in the extract from dmesg below, I do get an mtrr error, but from reading this forum for a few days I have concluded that this might not be my problem.
If I move fglrx.ko to fglrx.ko_old and reboot, X loads with some default driver and everything is OK. I can then move fglrx back to the original name and restart X (log out/in) and, voila!!, fglrx is loaded and acceleration is on. Everything is OK till next reboot.
I have not found any differences in dmesg or XFree86.0.log between the failed and successful attempts.
XFree86.0.log does not seem to complain about anything.
I did add the kernel option vmalloc=256 to get rid of "allocation failed: out of vmalloc space - use vmalloc=<size> to increase size." from dmesg.

Has anybody seen something like this?
Any ideas or suggestions for where to look for more error messages?
