ATI Drivers Problem on Toshiba Laptop

So I put CRUX successfully on this Toshiba Satellite L305-S5874 and got startx and some essential programs I use on here... However, I cannot seem to get my ATI Video Drivers compiled correctly. To be quite honest, I have no idea how X even started, since it refused to without the drivers. I ran the latest ATI drivers, and I still get the great "direct rendering: no" and have no actual driver specified on xorg.conf

Video Card:
ATI Radeon 3100

OS:
CRUX Linux

xorg.conf "Device" section:

Code:

Section "Device"



        # unsupported card

    #VideoRam    524288

    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate

        Identifier  "ati"

        Driver      "vga"

EndSection



Section "Device"

        Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"

        Driver      "fglrx"

        Option      "VideoOverlay" "on"

        Option      "OpenGLOverlay" "off"

        BusID      "PCI:1:5:0"

EndSection

I'm not even sure if the first "device" counts, but i put it there anyway incase it may. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead of time!

Try commenting out the first section, reboot, and see if it works. If not, then try this:

Code:

Section "Device"



    # unsupported card

    #VideoRam    524288

    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate

    Identifier  "ati"

    Driver      "vesa"

EndSection

You seem to have messed up your xorg.conf
There is a nuisance set of lines that you must remove.

Apparently two different utilities have done that...fglrx wrote one set and ..

Do not use vesa

How new is the X-org in CRUX?

All of radeonhd, radeon and fglrx should work.
