Hi, I've already asked Marc Aurele La France this question, who maintains the ATI driver.
He told me to post my question to this address, so here it goes: /me wrote: [...] I'm using a radeon 8500 (from hercules) video adapter and just upgraded XFree86 from 4.2.99 to 4.3.0. When I first tried to use the ati driver in 4.2.x I ran into the problem, that my monitor was not detected correctly. I got the error message | (EE) RADEON(0): No valid mode found for this DFP/LCD although I had just a CRT screen connected to the vga output. I had a look at the log file and it said I should try Option "CrtScreen" in my XFree86Config... and it worked well for me. It seems that in version 4.3.0 of XFree86 this option has been removed from the radeon driver and I'm getting the same error message as above when I try to start X11. (No valid mode...) On the XFree86 webpage I found the option "crt_screen" in the ATI Adapters README file. This option doesn't work as well. ;( Why has this option been removed and how do I set up X11 to work properly on my system? I'm sending my XFree86Config and my XFree86.0.log as an attachement. The commented part is a relict from the fglrx driver test, that didn't work well with 4.2.x and doesn't work with 4.3.0 at all. thanks, Daniel -- eat(this); // delicious suicide _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
