Since I've installed Mdk-8.2, I run XFree4 with the fbdev driver, because I've got a black screen with the ati driver.
I'm trying now to have this latter work. I've made of diff of two /var/log/XFree86.0.log files, one with fbdev driver, the other with the ati one. What seems signicative to me is a warning in the ati one (more than a bunch of unused modelines) : > (WW) ATI(0): Cannot shadow an accelerated frame buffer. and the last line of the ati log file : > (II) ATI(0): Shutting down Xvideo subsystems Does anybody know what does this mean ? I've attached the diff file. I usually boot linux with the accelerated ati console driver (with a kernel argument "video = atyfb:accel" ...). I've tried to boot with the "novideo" option in BootX (oldworld...). Then my consoles aren't accelerated, but I still have the same warning in XFree86.log... Any other idea ? Bertrand Dekoninck
