One more question, My ATI card is in a laptop, will this allow display switching to work? |
Don't worry, that stuff comes all in fglrxconfig.

I followed the instructions and have at least managed to not trash my system. My problem is that agpgart still seems to be running. lsmod gives the following:
Code:
Module Size Used by How do I stop agpgart (yes, I asked not to use it in fglrxconfig) from loading, or should I? Is it or could it be causing problems? I suspect yes since I have not been able to do any dual screen stuff. Thanks |
ok... this is my 10th time at least trying to install these stupid ATI drivers... and everytime I have the same problem...
btw, this is a fresh install, with all updates installed.. and all sources installed... actually, i don't think there is a problem with the install, that part seems to go as smooth as butter, but after the install when I try to run X (with the command startx) I always get the same thing... NOTHING! it starts X, my monitor clicks and after about 3-4 seconds my monitor tells me I have no signal... just as it would if I were to power off my computer, but leave my monitor on. Now I believe it's either its out of sync or something like that... BUT.... I don't see why, because even @ super low graphic settings I does the same... and my monitor is a 21" IBM which can handle very decent resolutions, so I'm sure it shouldn't be going out of sync like that. Anyone had this problem before? It's really annoying that I see so many people having success with this install, yet everytime I try it I always end up with the same end result. I'm doing everything by the book so to say, and even tho the install goes just fine I can't seem to understand why I have this problem. Please help! :D |
This is a great guide -- and I followed it to the letter. First time, on a Radeon 9700, it worked fine. Then on my brother's slightly newer 9550, I've been having problems. After I'm done, 3D accelleration is still disabled -- this time it says that as long as multihead is present, it cannot enable 3D accelleration. What do I do?
Thanks a mil in advance... Ky |
