Hi,
I emerged xorg-x11 and ati-drivers, and now I'm trying to create
working xorg.conf for my laptop with x700 mobile radeon...
I have read "The X Server Configuration HOWTO", and tried:
# Xorg -configure
but it failed with message:
Symbol XAAGetPatternROP_PM from module /usr/lib/modules/drivers/
nsc_drv.o is unresolved!
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
I tried "semi-automatic" xorg.conf generation with xorgconfig,
but I really do not know what horizontal sync range should I use
(did not find anything about it in my notebook documentation).
I defined some default values and tried to start x-server,
but it failed with:
(EE) No devices detected
Fatal server error:
no screens found
I also tried:
# xorgcfg -textmode
It stops (waited 5min, then I Ctrl-C) while doing:
Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.o
Module fglrx: vendor="FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc."
compiled for 6.8.0, module version = 8.21.7
I also tried aticonfig (or aticfc or something similar),
after that my notebook completely got frozen (no response
to keyboard, not possible to connect with ssh, so I
had to do a "hard reset").
What to do now? I really do not know how to write xorg.conf
from scratch. Or am I missing something? What is actually
proper way to get X11 working? Should I unmerge ati-drivers
and first start with "pure" X11?
