I've had almost the exact same problem. I have the same card. I tried multiple ati drivers and different login managers with no success. I recently upgraded to Modular X and for some reason, it all started working normally again. If you don't want to upgrade, perhaps re-compiling X will fix the problem but I didn't try this. I had the same problem with different kernels but not when I dropped the ati-drivers so I don't think downgrading the kernel will fix your problem. -Dennis Ptitjack wrote: Hi all, I have some problem with gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r3 and ati-drivers.

Thanks I had this problem with ati-drivers and, to make the story short, after countless hours of hacking with things left and right, in the end I gave up and went to xorg's radeon driver. The only drawback is that it doesn't do 3d, or if it does, not easily. So I either had to give up 3d, or sit and watch as my laptop froze EVERY single time i either 1) logged out of xorg 2) resumed from suspend to ram , both of which are extremely important daily activities.

I really don't know what to do except downgrading to gentoo-sources-2.6.15. Thanks I had this problem with ati-drivers and, to make the story short, after countless hours of hacking with things left and right, in the end I gave up and went to xorg's radeon driver.

Wish I could report a different result. All right then, so i stay with gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1 and ati-drivers-8.21.7-r1. Everything 's working fine (loggin in and out , 3d), and i'll wait for new ati-drivers. Thanks for your answers, cheers, --- Jacques -- ^ ^^^ ^ ( 0 0 ) \/ ---- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I have the exact same problem, with an AMD Athlon XP 1800+ and Radeon 9000 pro. Hey, I got an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ and a Radeon 9000 Pro, so nearly the same specs. And why do you use the ati-drivers? I had exactly the same problem, so I didn't use them since then. The xorg-driver radeon is great and should support 3D on the Radeon 9000 and since Xorg 7.X (and 6.9) on the 9600, too. I can just tell you to use them, they ARE better. I got EXA by now with them so I can use compositing and direct rendering at the same time with very good performance.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 It is actually the only way to play games like UT2004 that need ST3C (patented algorithm crap). Well, I play UT2K4 here and it works. It ain't super-blazing (1,6GHz, 512MB RAM, 128MB-Graphics-RAM so can't be too good for such hungry games) but playable without any problems. I used them a while ago, but they were quite crappy. Can you do heavy 3D with them without pulling your hair out? What do you mean by heavy 3D? Hardware-accelerated image-rendering or games? I'm happy with 250FPS in Quake3Arena to be honest. So should I upgrade to xorg-x11-7.0-r1, activate the kernel ati radeon and change fglrx to radeon in xorg.conf ? Is that right ? Thanks --- Jacques -- I don't say you have to but if I were you I would: - - update the xorg to 7.X - - build agpgart for your chipset into the kernel - - build the DRM for the ATI Radeon into the kernel - - configure xorg to use the radeon-driver (This is not just changing one line, you will have to reconfigure the whole section because the different drivers use different parameters) Jannis Achstetter -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFET9FIsnofy59UleQRArxxAJ9qdm+oNvhE3VXmIiwR/xRuyF3KfACeKxrV NgSvDNyUVpkljuyT9y+cJXY= =isO7 -END PGP SIGNATURE- smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
