[First post -- raw newbie -- please tell me if
anything is out of step.]
I have a homebrew PC with a Radeon 7500 driving an
Apple 17" Studio Display (LCD -- DVI input)
I have successfully used this hardware w/ Win
XP
I have recently installed RH 9 w/ XFree86
4.3.0
I can boot to text mode, but all attempts to start
X result in a blank screen. I have scanned multiple sites, done several
Google searches, read lots of documentation and tried _many_ config variations.
To prove the set-up is functional, I have borrowed
a Sony LCD display, attached it to the same DVI port and successfully gotten X
to work on that.
A review of the log reveals no error messages --
DDC detects the Apple monitor and its settings; the ati and radeon drivers load;
DRI is installed.
After loading everything there is the following
entry:
Audit [timestamp] #### X: client # rejected
from local host
where #### is a four digit number that
varies
and # is single digit number --
generally 4 or 5
then just two more lines
[drm] removed 1 conserved context for
kernel
[drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA [hex] at
[hex]
Note: I am logged in as root.
Once the blank screen is up, I can only return to
console by CTRL-ALT-Backspace.
I assume it is something in the Config file, but I
cannot figure out what.
Simple question:
Is there anyone who has seen XFree86 driving this
monitor?
If so, what was the video card and what were the
Config settings?
I am obviously open to suggestions. This is
potentially a deal-breaker for my running Linux at this point as I can't afford
to change monitors just to resolve this.
Many thanks in advance.
