4 Hello everyone,
5
6 I realize that I just posted on this subject, but since all versions of
7 Xorg, except for modular X have been hard masked, I need some help or
8 advice - preferably from someone who has had this problem and solved it.
9
10 My configuration: Athlon 1 Ghz, 512 MB, and for video an ATI Radeon
11 9550SE (identified by the kernel probe as a Radeon 9600 AS.
12
13 This all works fine under monolithic Xorg (6.8.2). However, when I have
14 tried to switch to modular Xorg, I can't get a screen. I have tried
15 both the proprietary driver, which is supposed to support my card (the
16 kernel won't load it), and the radeon driver.
17
18 For setup, I have used every setup utility available, and even tried to
19 set up my xorg.conf file myself. In most cases, it finds all the modes
20 supported by my card when I try it out, but it errors out with a couple
21 of errors: 1. Insufficient memory for the requested window, and 2.
22 Screens found, but none have a usable configuration.
23
24 For some reason, modular Xorg is not allocating enough memory for a
25 screen and I can't find a way to fix this.
26
27 Regards,
28 Chris
