Hi Everyone, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I am new to this list, but not to Gentoo - I've been using it for months |
| 7 |
now. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I will give a brief description of my problem (unfortunately I no longer |
| 10 |
have the pertinent logs) |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
My machine: HP Pavilion with an Athlon 1 Ghz processor, 512 MB of RAM, |
| 13 |
an AGP slot, and a Cable/Ethernet connection to the Internet. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
My Video card: ATI Radeon 9550SE (relatively new), 128 MB DDR, AGP up |
| 16 |
to 8X, and so on. Hardware probed identify it as a Radeon 9600. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
It works with xorg-x11-6.8.2-r8, which is now hard masked. Under |
| 19 |
xorg-x11-7.0-r1 it will not work, no matter what I've tried. I tried |
| 20 |
the proprietary ATI driver, the Radeon driver and even the VESA driver. |
| 21 |
The proprietary driver will not load during the boot process, and with |
| 22 |
the other drivers, even when I tell it what modes to use, I get an error |
| 23 |
that says there's not enough memory for the selected mode. The final |
| 24 |
error goes something like, "Screens found but none have a usable |
| 25 |
configuration." I have tried the Xorg configuration utilities, but they |
| 26 |
haven't produced any better results. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I would note that I had this problem with Debian, as well. Any |
| 29 |
suggestions would be appreciated. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Regards, |
| 32 |
