[gentoo-user] Major problem with Xorg 7+
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Everyone, I am new to this list, but not to Gentoo - I've been using it for months now. I will give a brief description of my problem (unfortunately I no longer have the pertinent logs) My machine: HP Pavilion with an Athlon 1 Ghz processor, 512 MB of RAM, an AGP slot, and a Cable/Ethernet connection to the Internet. My Video card: ATI Radeon 9550SE (relatively new), 128 MB DDR, AGP up to 8X, and so on. Hardware probed identify it as a Radeon 9600. It works with xorg-x11-6.8.2-r8, which is now hard masked. Under xorg-x11-7.0-r1 it will not work, no matter what I've tried. I tried the proprietary ATI driver, the Radeon driver and even the VESA driver. The proprietary driver will not load during the boot process, and with the other drivers, even when I tell it what modes to use, I get an error that says there's not enough memory for the selected mode. The final error goes something like, Screens found but none have a usable configuration. I have tried the Xorg configuration utilities, but they haven't produced any better results. I would note that I had this problem with Debian, as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Chris, Have you tried putting 'VideoRam 131072' in your xorg.conf under Section Device? The error saying there's not enough memory makes me think it fails to detect the correct amount of it. You can look at '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' to see if this is true. Regards, Jure pgpcJTIgIlBeI.pgp Description: PGP signature

That log will contain a lot of output from the drivers about what it found, how it's configured, etc. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
