I compiled ati-drivers-8.593 (after making required mods to kernel |
72 |
configuration); no help. There's even an additional error message. |
73 |
|
74 |
From the above conversation, however, it may be I don't need them. |
75 |
I'm not aware of running OpenGL, so it could be complaining about some |
76 |
other driver. |
77 |
|
78 |
With the short xorg.conf, the error messages are different -- |
79 |
including one about the |
80 |
mouse interface not loading. With no xorg.conf, it seems to try more |
81 |
variations, but |
82 |
there's still no joy. |
83 |
|
84 |
Getting desperate.... |
85 |
|

Anyway, with no xorg.conf, I see |
