I have a HP Pavilion ZV6000 with a ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE). I can chose to use dedicated memory or shared memory or both. If I choose dedicated memory (or both), I can't use the proprietary driver if I load the fglrx module and try to use DRI. If try to do this, X turns blanks. In the logs I see clearly that X cant find memory.
This doesn't occurs whit disabled DRI or without fglrx module. And it's ok with shared memory (but the performance isn't good). The free driver doesn't suport DRI yet, so I have to use Xorg OpenGL emulation. But, at least I can use the dedicated memory. I'm stil waiting for a better solution, independent if with proprietary or free driver. 2006/11/14, Chris Traylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Has anybody tried the new ATI driver? I did the emerge, and everything seemed fine. However, when I go to log in, any keypress or mouse click crashes the entire system. If I switch from the fglrx driver to the open source radeon driver everything works (or at least the things that the xorg driver supports, seems to work). I tried updating qt,kde, and reinstalling xorg 7.1, but all to no avail. I haven't gotten to trudging through the X logs yet, but I figured I'd go fishing for ideas, just in case, someone ran across this as well. Any ideas (sans a lecture about slaveryware from Duncan) would be appreciated.
