Sun Monitor & ATI 9200 in RedHat 9

windyang12 · 09-17-2003, 08:06 AM

I have Sum Monitor with mode GDM5010PT, and ATI video card 9200. I installed RedHat 9 on my P4, and install video card driver which I downloaded from ATI website. But Linux can't start X window, the resolution is still the default one 600*800.

I was wondering that the setting of my monitor is wrong, but not sure. Can someone help me figure out this ...

Thanks in advance!

I assume you are now on a command line.From there,did you try 'startx'??

If you have some problems with startx,what are the error messages you are getting??
If you are successful with startx,you can go for a default GUIby editing your /etc/inittab file.there will be a line like
initdefault:3:<something>
change the 3 to 5.and in the next boot,you will be in GUI

This is what I did on my linux:

1) After I installed RH9, I reboot machine. Then Linux noticed me that X can't start. So it forced me to login as root to fix display problem. (Linux shows the unknow monitor and wrong video card)

2) I download ATI 9200 driver from ATI website, and install it (it created a XFree86Config-4 file in /etc/X11) But during the installation, I am not sure how to set my monitor since it asked me h/v sync and I don't have a manual for my monitor

3) After I installed ATI video card driver, I reboot, then I got same problem: "no screean found"

Any thoughts?

post your /var/log/XFree.0.log and XF86Config-4.also,make sure that the log file is after ATI driver installation.if in doubt,remove all your X log files,ie,'rm /var/log/XFree.*' and then try a startx.and post the newborn log file.In the meantime,try reconfiguring X using 'redhat-config-xfree86' or 'xf86config'.While using these,If you are not sure abt horz/vert rates,choose a conservative setting.

I've got Sun Monitor manual, and know H/V sync. But my video card still doesn't work.

The following is the output during my installation for driver:

*** Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
*** WARNING ***
Tailored kernel module for fglrx not present in your system.
You must go to /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod subdir
and execute './make.sh' to build a fully customed kernel module.
Afterwards go to /lib/modules/fglrx and run './make_install.sh'
in order to install the module into your kernel's module repository.
(see readme.txt for more details.)

As of now you can still run your XServer in 2D, but hardware acclerated
OpenGL will not work and 2D graphics will lack performance.

Make sure that you installed the driver in the right way.(I am no expert in AtI driver issues).I did some googe and may be http://users.actrix.co.nz/michael/radeon9200.html
can help you.I think this is a really usefull howto wrt your problem.
ps:from a few hits to google,i understand that configuring ati radion 9200 drivers in linux is quite tough.If the above thing doesnt help you,a hit at google.com with the keyword 'ati radeon 9200+linux' will lead you to similar problems
