I finally got the kernel built, but it crashed and burned. I guess my Debian kernel building skills have atrophied. > Please attach full Xorg log. As mentioned in a previous message, it is posted at http://doolittle.icarus.com/~larry/radeon-logfile.txt I'll also send it to you (Jerome) by private email, but I don't really think I should spam the list with a 46 kByte attachment. > What are the physical connector > on the motherboard ? HDMI+VGA ? How is the monitor connected > DVI through HDMI adapter ? The motherboard has three video output connectors: VGA, DVI, and HDMI. The motherboard documentation asserts that the DVI and HDMI ports are driven by the same data source, so only one of them can be used at a time. The monitor has two connectors: VGA and DVI. I get the same results connecting the two with a VGA cable and a DVI cable. I have not yet tested the HDMI output. The motherboard is a Biostar TA790GX XE, conveniently listed at Newegg as item N82E16813138140. The monitor (LCD panel) worked recently at 2048x1152 driven with a 10-year-old Matrox and the same VGA cable. It's a Samsung model 2343BWX. I have started downloading the files to install the i686 version of Debian Squeeze, instead of the amd64 version, just in case I have run into a word-length bug. I should have a chance to try that this weekend. - Larry _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: [email protected]
