ati drivers xorg.conf and gnome

xrado · 10-26-2005, 12:28 PM

i installed ati drivers, then i started gnome with startx and everything was working great as it should (acceleration,...), but then i rebooted comp. in runlevel 4, loged-in with gdm startup-screen, gnome was still using old xorg.conf (not ati)...i dont know why is this happening. runlevel 4 never starts with ati drivers, only if i go to runlevel 3 and type startx the is working

any ideas?

Try installing the ati drivers and run fglrxconfig after logging in runlevel 4. Then, ctrl+alt, backspace to re-start X. As long as the old xorg.conf gets replaced, you should be good to go.

old xorg.conf is replaced, but gnome doesnt using it thats strange
only runlevel 3 and then startx from command line works with ati

..this are my files in /etc/X11/
xorg.conf ...one mady by fglrxconfig
xorg.conf-fbdev
xorg.conf-vesa
xorg.conf.save ..what is this for?

i solve it,
the problem was with copy of my old xorg.conf placedon / (root)
i looked throught the logs and found that gnome was alway using this conf instead one in /etc/X11/
i erase it and now is working
