Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I have an intel iMac Core 2 Duo with an ATI radeon HD 2400 XT video |
| 4 |
card. I have not been able to get X working. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
uname -a: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Linux pyrope 2.6.30-gentoo-r5 #6 SMP Thu Nov 5 10:48:04 NST 2009 x86_64 |
| 9 |
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7300 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
This is what I have in /etc/make.conf: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse wacom" |
| 14 |
#VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx radeon vesa fbdev" |
| 15 |
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon vesa fbdev" |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
This is the vesrion of xorg-server: |
| 18 |
[ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2 USE="ipv6 nptl sdl |
| 19 |
xorg -debug -dmx -hal -kdrive -minimal -tslib" 0 kB |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I initially built xorg-server with ati-drivers and hal support but |
| 22 |
removed them as part of my troubleshooting attempts and uninstalled |
| 23 |
ati-drivers using emerge -C. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
This is the version of xf86-video-ati: |
| 26 |
[ebuild R ] x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.12.4 USE="-debug" 0 kB |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Xorg -configure generates an xorg.conf.new, however, when I test X |
| 29 |
using: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
X -config xorg.conf.new |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I get a blank screen and the keyboard and mouse become unresponsive. |
| 34 |
I then have to reboot the machine. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
The Xorg.0.log contains some warnings, but no errors. I will post it if |
| 37 |
anyone wishes to see. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
For some reason lsmod shows fglrx running, even after I unmerged the |
| 40 |
package and restarted the computer. fglrx is not in my |
| 41 |
/etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6 file. I have |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
<M> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) |
| 44 |
<M> ATI Radeon |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
in the kernel, but the modules are NOT listed in |
| 47 |
/etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6 |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
I've been playing around with this for about a day without making |
| 50 |
progress. I'll be very grateful for any help. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Thanks, |
| 53 |
