Hi all,
I got some issues with Xorg 6.7.x, ati's fglrx driver and my x800 xt platinum edition.
If I enable either dri or acceleration, my system locks up when I start X and the monitor goes into stand-by mode (however, if I put the monitor on the DVI port, it doesn't go into standby mode). The kernel however still responds to Alt+SysRq.
According to the X log file (
http://users.tpg.com.au/adlane/Xorg.0.log ) X starts without any warnings or errors (except one about the Speedo font path but that is harmless). The kernel log shows nothing unusual when starting X.

Also, the amount and type of memory on the video card is misread even though I set the mem option in the device section to the proper amount (256mb).
In the interests of keeping this post short, I have posted the X config file here
http://users.tpg.com.au/adlane/XF86Config.txt and the Xorg logfile here
http://users.tpg.com.au/adlane/Xorg.0.log
So far I have tried:
a.) removing all monitor modes from XFConfig (never needed them because my monitor is detected properly by X)
b.) changing the default resolution to 640x480 in case of bad modes
c.) plugging my monitor into the DVI port rather then the vga using the DVI-VGA adaptor.
d.) using all default options by commenting out all the options in the XFConfig file for the adaptor
e.) trying clone mode (reasoning was that maybe it was trying to use the other nonexistant detected display as the primary)
f.) disabling acceleration and dri (worked but why would I want to use software 3D with such a powerful video card
)
g.) installing Xorg version 6.7 instead of 6.8
h.) installing Mandrake 10.1 community
i.) using internal and external agp-gart
Except for f , none of these made any difference at all.
Any suggestions, comments, help , etc would be greatly appreciated. If I have missed anything please ask and I shall provide asap. No lspci output and whatnot due to me being in windows atm.
