-----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.
